bktheirregularSo I'm watching towards the end of Apollo 13, with Greek subtitles. And I guess sometimes the translators miss the meaning of something.
As the astronauts finish restarting the command module (which has been shut down and freezing for several days), preparing for re-entry, Fred Haise, the lunar-module pilot, tells command module pilot Jack Swigert:
"Way to go, Jack." «Έχουμε δρόμο ακόμα, Τζακ». ("We've still got some road ahead, Jack.)
I was musing over the way they do contextual, not literal, translations. This time around, I guess they missed one.
