Tag: Mistranslation

“Mistranslation” refers to incorrect translations that change the original meaning, often due to over-reliance on machine translation. For instance, the English “I’m on the next level” could be rendered in French as “Je suis sur le prochain niveau,” which literally means “I am standing on…” rather than the idiomatic “Je passe au niveau suivant,” confusing gamers expecting a clear progress indication.
