Author Topic: translation need of cinema related words Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 02-20-2003 04:37 PM                        The company could also be called "Umutio intermissa". People will never be able to figure out how the name came into existence. I kid you not. For instance, Greek meat balls are called "keftedes". They had to be renamed "köfte" in Turkish to hide the origin of the word.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-20-2003 07:16 PM                     Really? Do you mean actually illegal? Proscribed? OR, do you mean in such poor favor as to be some kind of taboo?  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I've got the AG-fa part. Anyone? Maybe some of our Belgian friends can help?  |  IP: Logged
