Trevor Noah Was a Victim of Fake News

[@thelioness8991]

The thing about the translation is absolutely true. I live in germany and the difference between hearing Trump himself and hearing a german translators voice calmly paraphrasing his word in coherent sentences is huge.

[@luuketaylor]

I'd be really interested to hear/see an example you might have of this. As an English speaker only, this effect is lost on me.

[@DDD033]

Suffragette the difference is HUGE

[@redlightning0001]

I mentioned this somewhere else, but the Daily Show have done a translation issue skit on their show with the actual translators. You should check it when you get the chance. It's called: The Translators - Interpreting Donald Trump: The Daily Show on youtube. It's a great example.

[@thelioness8991]

Well you could for example listen to any of his speeches with german translation over it and compare the tone of voice. Like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5_QXmdtrqt2Y8k. To make it more clear what I mean here some points: 1. When Trump repeats himself "We are gonna win, win, win, win!" the translator usually just translates: "We are gonna win." 2. When he uses wrong adverbs like "bigly" or otherwise wrong grammar the translator translates it into grammatically correct german. 3. When he doesn't use coherent sentences and veers widely off what he was originally saying the translator does his or her best to transform that into somewhat coherent sentences. I could probably find and example of this and I may add one later. 4. The way Trump enunciates and pronounces some words or just his general manner of speaking is just its own kind of weird so having that replaced by a matter of fact voice german translator already makes him seem less crazy. Sorry I didn't cite any specific example. I hope you can still kind of understand what I mean. :)

[@sarah7755]

Suffragette true. I recall a story from a while ago about a "dilemma" translators were having with him as to how they should translate him.

[@Wangsters]

The discussion at the end about how Trump translates into other languages REALLY hits home. I have read foreign newspapers where Trump's "BUILD THE WALL!" and "LOCK HER UP!" craziness got translated into: "construct a security barrier" and into "have her face legal proceedings". Trump is totally SANE when politely translated.

[@margaritam.9118]

James Ironically, Trump who hates PC is translated into a sane person thanks to PC.

[@azix2915]

Woah. That is lowkey fake news lmao

[@JaIch9999]

Many people from other countries understand enough English to enjoy Mr. Trump speaking in his native language. 😀 So don't worry. His extraordinary personality gets across. It's just the official news that do a more PC translation.

[@woolsyzygy]

"A person is less terrifying when you are laughing." Always remember the boggart-banishing spell, "Riddikulus!"

[@tmanepic]

I think Trevor has a really excellent point here. Usually these translations aren't word for word because that would sometimes make even the most properly spoken sentences incoherent. But since Trump's statements are originally incoherent, they get translated in a way that makes it look like he's not a complete rambler that can't even finish a thought.

[@SalahEddineH]

This is truer than you think. I'm Moroccan, so both my parents, who speak no English, only listen to news in Arabic and French. I seriously had to sit them down and show them videos of his speeches in English, and translate word for word to them, to make them realize how incoherent (and batshit crazy) he sounds.

[@Alresu]

Here in germany it's the same. I hear one of his speeches in english and a few hours or days i see the same speech with a german speaker who 'translates' it and suddenly he sounds like every other politician. Even weirder, if they just use subtiltes, and i have to think: "Guys, we hear him. Even without understanding english you can hear, that this is not how he talks."

[@jonanice]

[@thanaedwards9660]

Trevor is incoherent. I undersand Trump quite well.

[@xxxxxsero]

[@berkerdinc4317]

He is on point on this one... when they translate what he says translators translate the meaning and words change so people where i live don't get how crazy he sounds in english...

[@martinaee]

The point he made about how Trump sounds he's speaking Arabic in English to people in the Arabic speaking world was hilarious, but also terrifying. I guess it's like that for any nation, but specifically with Trump a lot of people in other democratic nations may not get how insane and dumb he is. Where do you live and how do most people there view him?

[@berkerdinc4317]

martinaee I live in turkey and here people who identify primarily as muslims usually don't like him and people who identify primarily as turks usually like him but since most people rely on translations of his speeches they think he is just another politician, they don't really get it when i tell them this guy talks like a six year old narcicist...

[@Tamaki742]

That's what translators are having so much problems with. Like they have the job of making the words understandable, but they also have to try to keep in the nuance and the style of speech. That's the hardest thing to do with Trump, because keeping the latter parts means it's going to be incoherent in other languages.

[@Nifisnation94]

I could listen to him talk about anything and ill still be swooned. Intelligent, funny, soul warming, he's amazing. Ohhhhhhh and that smile ❤

[@frecklesandwine]

They're so cute together. Also, am I crazy, or does Seth look kinda smitten? I mean, not in a gay way, just in a he seems really impressed by Trevor and genuinely enjoys his company kinda way. I think they feed off of each other much better than Stephen Colbert would, cuz they're softer and more subtle in some of their jokes. Although I respect Stephen, he's always come off as slightly more arrogant to me, and I never actually laugh out loud as much. He's better w Jon Stewart cuz they both have that one-man show vibe and stage presence. Whereas Seth and Trevor are more playful and easy-going, and hence better talk show hosts. (Just my opinion, ofc!)

[@princessjello]

frecklesandwine i find my favorite late night interviews are with Seth Meyers. He always seems genuinely interested in his guest.

[@elliemoon88]

I totally agree with you. It's a subtlety thing, but Seth and Trevor seem more humble, and I find them more likable than Stephen (I respect the man, but he DOES come off a tad arrogant for my taste).

Get yourself a bro that looks at you like Seth looks at Trevor.

When Trevor Noah was talking about the translation thing I remembered the episode of NewsRadio where (billionaire owner) Jimmy James's book was translated to Japanese and back again. That was hilarious! So yes please, Trevor or Seth, do something like that with Trump's lines! (NewsRadio - Season 4, Episode 4 - Super Karate Monkey Death Car)

[@Dudlow]

The Japanese translator Chikako Tsuruta said “He is so overconfident and yet so logically unconvincing that my interpreter friends and I often joke that if we translated his words as they are, we would end up making ourselves sound stupid.” www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/02/17/national/japans-interpreters-struggle-to-make-sense-of-trump-speeches/#.WbFA47KGPIU

[@redlightning0001]

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, they did a skit on this already. The co-host went to the different translators and made them translate it with the nuances and craziness. You should check it out if you haven't. But yes I would Trevor and Seth to collab on it!
