Jurgen Klopp calls out a German translator for misquoting Jordan Henderson 😅

[@sebastianalegria3401]

"I could also translate, it's not so difficult, I'm in a competition mode already I can tell you", honestly Klopp never stops surprising us in press conferences.

What a coach defending his player...and what a man!

What a weird concept isn’t it? We’ve never seen a manager defending his players 😂 you have your head way up his ass that you are a lost cause

[@dvdv8197]

Auch, he completely trashed that interpreter. 😅 You can see in that moment how very demanding Jurgen can be. He expects the best from EVERYONE.

As an interpreter I can say, it is not the ability of the interpreter in this situation but rather than the memory. Players/managers tend to speak long sentences. unless you are taking notes or writing along, it would be difficult to remember everything

[@TomTomson81]

But that's their job and it's important to translate what has been said accurately. In politics, there is much more being spoken and translated. If the translator makes mistakes, it can lead to war.

[@Erackness1]

Its just a football match, not a war meeting 😅. These mistakes happen all the time

[@farariri]

​@@TomTomson81Yeah but that was some pointless football meeting, not life or death politics debate.

[@TomTomson81]

It's a media war. A wrong translation can end your career. Cancel culture rules.

[@Trollportphosphat]

@@farariri While true, the translator still gets paid to do it, while Klopp does not, yet he was able to better translate the players main points into german.

This is why it’s sad Hendo is now saying he didn’t feel welcome at the club. Jurgen always had his back. 😞

[@llew5825]

Honestly, they always talk so much. As a translator, I would be completely lost because I would probably forget 90% of what was said.

[@PG-fy2ck]

you need to get used to it... everything that requires skill needs to be trained... some things you get by doing it over and over again. same with the concentration needed to absorb the conversation and repeat it in another language. it requires proficiency on both languages, something that you only get by using them.

[@cyborg-zl2mc]

well you paraphrase what they say,but keep the meaning. some translators do not keep the meaning.sometimes people talk using fillers as a translator you get rid of the fillers and just say the important pieces.

[@Alexander-kc8oq]

It´s a translators job to translate what´s being said when it´s being said. If you cant do it in real time then there is no point in you being there.

[@TomBartram-b1c]

I read a French translation of a book once where someone made a fire in their garden and the translator used the word incendie. Wrong!!!! Incendie implies intention to cause harm when the guy was innocently burning off dead wood. Should've been simply feu. I was, as you'll all understand, pretty angry and am STILL awaiting a full apology.

[@happygamer3395]

Do you think the interpreter was well-intentioned, that is making a mistake. Or did he intentionally want to mess with Henderson's reputation.

[@roycropper698]

@@banger2998 I think that’s why Klopp apologised the next day or whenever as he probably realised the translator had to use the closet german word to translate what Henderson said.

[@colasalz2]

@@roycropper698 well the player never said: wir wollen uns keinen druck machen und wir werden es leicht angehen lassen. das ist halt einfach ein Fehler

[@a_true_one7696]

Perhaps it was easier for Klopp to translate, as Henderson has some distinct British accent which Jürgen is accustomed to.

[@IIBLizZII]

@@a_true_one7696 not really. because the words the interpreter used had nothing to do with Henderson's meaning :D Henderson literally said "it is NOT gonna be easy". (easy means "leicht" in german). And the interpreter just used the word easy (leicht) in terms of: they will approach it lightly. Lightly also means "leicht" in German... but he absolutely failed to listen to Henderson correctly - in which case the german word "leicht" was used in his sentence. And Jurgen knows the German press. This would have led to chaotically wrong headlines with a whole different meaning. From having confidence in a difficult task - to being arrogant over an opponent. Imo there is no real excuse for this interpreter.

[@eugenebelford9087]

OFC he wasn't "well-intentioned" and it wasn't a mistake by accident. You can clearly hear that the "interpreter"/ "journalist" was from Bavaria. Bavarians only mask themselves as being somewhat strange humans ... in reality, they are something else, something far more sinister than we mere human beings can imagine! 😁

Today AI could replace those translators and deliver real-time translations while people are talking. It would be somehow accurate, but not funny anymore ;-)

[@suffern63]

I don't know youtube as shown me this now,I'm not going to watch it,I imagine the translator said Henderson was a big supporter of homosexual rights who would never take money to play anywhere were those rights weren't protected

the written word is translated, the spoken word is interpreted. That's why the German is an interpreter not a translator.

Klopp is a very entertaining coach, but in all fairness that is a lousy and unprofessional way to treat other people. Also considering the position he is in, probably earning many, many times what the translator earns etc. Luckily he apologized for his behavior.

[@jessiemcabee1927]

Not fair to the translator. The player droned on way to long and started repeating himself. It isn't easy to turn that around into a translation, when the beginning, middle and end start to run into each other. Also, the translator wasn't finished, so reserve judgment.
