Language Option!
Cool tip! Too bad they don't have Japanese... But I only know less than conversational speech and not the writing, past "OK" and "Cancel". :)

I like the part about the jokes not working. :lol:
They couldn't bother to translate the joke to something that works in the other languages? Yeah, that's not always easy, but isn't that part of a translators job? Somebody that does translating for a living, please back me up on this. Don't you have to translate idioms etc?
Weeell... Some are based on word-play, which isn't very easy to translate. And some are based on american phenomenon or products, and can't really be translated into anything that would make any sense.
But basically, I agree with you. I hate watching a television show or movie with a badly translated pun or joke, that really screws me up! And even worse is when the translation is just wrong (which happens more often than it should).
