Book and Movie “To Kill a Mockingbird” is translated in German to “Wer die Nachtigall Stört” - “To disturb a Nightingale”.
They were like “something, something with a bird- close enough.”
This bothered me even before reading the book, but after reading the scene in the backyard where Miss Maudie explains to the kids that you never shoot at a mockingbird because they do no harm to anyone or anything ever, a metaphor the whole book is build on, this translation drives me crazy.
I wish someone would re-publish it with a more fitting german title.
This stuff never bothered me when i was younger, now it kinda does. I always imagine some guy trying to put his own spin on things. “Oh i can do better.” But it’s just a title at least.
What bothered me even as a child was when they advertised for a movie like Antz in germany as: starring Sylvester Stallone. No he’s not, it has a german voice actor who pretends to be Sylvester Stallone.
