Americans are finally willing to read subtitles — but what if what we're reading is wrong?

"Americans are finally willing to read subtitles — but what if what we're reading is wrong?" asks culture critic Jeva Lange. "Squid Game is a case in point. Last week, TikTok user Youngmi Mayer went viral ranting about the numerous mistranslations in the English language closed-caption subtitles for the show. ... Netflix, the industry standard in streaming, treats it as an afterthought, with translators often going unrecognized and/or underpaid for their efforts. Translation is seen as a mechanical problem to be efficiently solved rather than the philosophical and artistic endeavor it truly is,” Lange writes.
