I think this double-translation is better than the original english:
padme: "it's only because i'm so in love . . . "
("i let me become the beauty to your love")

OH FUCK! THIS IS INCREDIBLE! *is totally ROFLing*
Here's hoping that someone procures a copy of this particular version of the film and makes it available to us on... well, something, be it torrent or Ares or whatever! XD
I am abit offended by how you guys react to it.
first of all, the casting..
do you know, chinese characters are like... More than gazillion?
there are many different same sounding characters but meaning different things,
just for example Jin= would be like alot of difrerent characters with different meanings. Jin in this case used as "gold " as meaning because generaly it's better to use that in a name than say using the character for JIN = which means a pound[measurement].
This is why you don't ask people " how you write/say my name in chinese"
if you ask you don't ask what it means again in english, it's not the same, it's different languages, you guys should undersatnd that by translating it BACK into english from the words in which they try to make possible for the chinese speakers to pronounce, you totaly changed the meanings.
a name does not MEAN specific things, a name can't be seperated into characters and translate character for character, that's why we don't ask what is John mean and what is SON mean and why you put it together as Johnson....
Peace
ahahah fucking singaporeans
OH MY GOSH! THIS IS THE FREAKING BEST SITE EVER! IM LAUGHING LIKE A CRAZED WOMAN! XD
Whoa, reading these lines just killed me. SHOOOOO FUNNEH 8D
Anonymous: It's funny because the translator DOESN'T know what you just explained. Inexperienced translator (or a machine) creates gibberish as demonstrated here..
DAMN!!!! I've been crying and hitting my head against the keyboard... :))))))))))))))
omg this is worse than engrish =D
i must get a copy of this, this is too rich
LOL
Wow. This is an awesome way to make money. Make copies of the movie and sell it to the people on here who want to laugh at the subtitles. I'd buy it.
??????? ???????? :)
DO NOT WANT!
Go back, read the translated subtitles again, but this time do it with Jar-Jar's voice in mind. In many lines it is almost perfect. I suspect this is how Lucas wrote Jar-Jar's lines in the first two movies.

First off I am Chinese, and this is hilarious! Yes I know we're making fun of it, so what? All they needed to do was get someone who actually understood English to copy, not translate the audio dialog into subtitles, instead of the double manual / automatic conversion. LOL! =|-D
ROF LOL, I'm gonna die laughing. This is soooo funny. Thank you for sharing.....crying laughing tooo much.
Beautiful, thank you for typing it! Though, you know, it would be less work to put it up on bittorrent... :)
hey, person complaining about making fun of translations, get that wooki out of your ass ok, if they cant be bothered finding a DECENT translator to do the job and theyr gonna do it sloppy, so be it, if its funny we laugh.
Besides, my asian friends think its hilarious, they arent offended, so go give first aid ur already dishevelled hair projection!
ROTFLMAO......!!!!!!!!!!
*bubbles foaming*
hi guys, thanks for all of your comments! sorry i can't make it available on bittorrent. first reason is i could get into a wee bit of trouble- this site has already been picked up by the lucasfilm folks so no sense in pushing it. also, i have no idea how to do that type of stuff. =)
This is the most beautiful thing ever....I cannot stop laughing! I have to get me one of these!
Here's one from the cover of a pirate dvd of Bend it like Beckham. It's like one of those Markov-chain text generator -- it sounds something like English, but what does it mean?
Quote:
India descendants young girl's Jie Xi (Pa Mingte Na Gela's decorations) that lives in Britain ardently loves the football, and she has paste the small house of oneself in image Bei Kehanmu of onself play bill and photograph full, and hopes that the skill to play balls of one self can be equally remarkable with Xiao Bei. One day, when the sphere is kicked in the outstanding west in the park.
OK, well, that explains it. Excuse me now while I go play balls of one self.
That's excellent. Really funny. And considering how bad Lucas' dialogue was in that film maybe the english chinese should be dubbed in...
I literally passed out from laughing
Oh gods, that's hilarious.
Concerning putting it on the torrents or something, that's overkill -- all one would really need is the subtitle definition file, which can then be applied to a legit copy of the movie for even /more/ fun.
this is really too stick!!! LMAO
:D I love it how "I'm alright" was translated to "I did not die"
How positive...
regarding the offended Chinese dude...
First of all I love deathespecialy4ucomes' response to that offended Chinese guy who's so anal retentive when he farts only dogs hear him..."get that Wookie out of your ass!!!" *LOLOLOL*
Second of all, dude, there's no excuse for mistranslating "Star War" when IT'S RIGHT FREAKIN THERE, JUST COPY IT. No excuse whatsoever.
Oh, and I'm Chinese, and I was laughing so hard I was tearing up with my head mashed into my keyboard while my sides were splitting. It's a lot easier to laugh without that Wookie up my ass =P
Mike:
I am cutting & pasting this from your post:
Second of all, dude, there's no excuse for mistranslating "Star War" when IT'S RIGHT FREAKIN THERE, JUST COPY IT. No excuse whatsoever.
Seems YOU cannot spell - even when it is RIGHT FREAKIN' THERE...:)
this is hilarious. I'm Chinese and I really don't see a problem with it. It has nothing to do with the fact that it's Chinese, it's just mocking ineptitude at it's finest no matter what country it's from!
My brother and I have been star wars fans since we saw Episode VI, which becuause our mother is a bit weird was when I was three and he was... um... barely a few months old. I stopped breathing for laughing and he, well... he was on the floor unable to stand. this is beautiful.
This is just magnificent! I don't think I've stopped laughing about it or raving about it to my friends in weeks!
Jeremy you are a god! PLEASE POST MORE!
As for LucasFilm trying to intimidate you about copyright etc., you're not doing this for profit, you can acknowledge that Lucas created all the characters etc. Lucas himself has usually been pretty nice to people who do satires and the like (check out Hardware Wars sometime). Remind
LucasFilm there is such a thing as 'fair use'.
Alternatively, do as someone else suggested and post the subtitle file from the DVD.
The wish power are together in big elephant with disheveled hair you having..
:-)
Wow, they really messed up the translations. I think some non-chinese speaker or a translation program must have translated because the mistakes seem to be a misunderstanding of the many possible meanings for words that sound the same. For example, the word for elephant sounds like the word for general sounds like the word for front (as in war front). Or square, which sounds exactly the same as 'sides' (as in two sides of a conflict). Finally, there is no way to translate chinese grammar exactly to english without it making no sense whatsoever. It was fun, trying to translate the mangled english back to chinese and see what they were really trying to say, elephants aside. :) What a laugh, thanks.

OMG! It's so funny! My dad actually got a copy of Star Wars EIII that has the same problem with the subtitles! I was laughing my head off when I saw it! Oh and I'm adding a link to your blog on my blog! You're blog is really nice!
Is there any way that the subtitle track from the DVD using SubRip or something so that we can enjoy the full hilarity of this once the DVD is released?
hi guys, i downloaded subrip but there doesn't seem to be any way to extract the subtitles as one file. if any of you know how to do that, let me know.
omfg. hilarious shit. i couldnt help but fwd this url to my friends. ;D
............................................................ROFLING TO HARD TO TYPE
Ah hahaha... I wish I had that disc too. I can imagine the serious movie scene with totally bad subtitles. I could die laughing. Hillarious!
Here's a slang that Hokien people use to comment something
"Wah Lau Eh!" aka OMG, WTF, WTH.
LOL. Send in the troopseses!
can you repost your original set of pics and captions? they were so funny and I want to see them again!
www.origamiboulder.com
that should read:www.origamiboulder.com, for similar fun
I've a project i've had on the shelf for awhile very much related to this stuff:
http://www.adyo.info/lovebable/
This is too stick!
incredible. thank you so much for posting this!!! its hilarious. started crying from laughing =D
hmmm.
comparing the two, i gotta say that the translated retranslated dialogue is a lot more engaging and creative.
oh well.
OMG! We're being attacked by the grahm crackers! He he.
Even Yoda speaks better than them
Actually this exist out on the net nowadays! Downloaded it yesterday from http://thepiratebay.org/.
It requires Bittorrent programs though.
And i promise, its HILARIOUS!!
It is I love. is good XD
At least Yoda makes some sense here, this is some funny shit
You know, I can't tell the difference between that dialogue and Lucas'. Seriously.
*died due to excessive laughing*
ow pain cant stop laughing to breathe
"that's not exactly what i meant"
You and me both Allah Gold...
DO NOT WANT
I think the Anonymous who replied "ahahah fucking singaporeans" to the Anonymous who wrote the 4-paragraph rant was right on the money.
Come to Malaysia, we have better pirated DVDs. (My version of "Come to the dark side, we have cookies.")
Funny subtitles are one of the benefits of living in a multilingual country. You can watch the most boring educational documentaries adn they're still hilarious.
"This is what who fuck" is def. my fave.
padme: "so love has blinded you?"
("your meaning is a love to tie up you")
Ohh, bondage, kinky.
