Die Prequels waren absolut Scheisse. Ich hab alles Interesse am Franchise verloren, nachdem ich sie angeguckt hab.
The prequels were total crap. I lost all interest on the franchise after viewing them.

Lakini sikuzote inafurahisha zaidi kutafsiri moja kwa moja. Vita vya Nyota.
But it's always more fun to translate directly. War of Stars.

Ich hatte das nicht korrigiert, da ich angenommen hatte, dass er es im Scherz gesagt hatte.
I didn't correct that because I assumed he'd said it in jest.

Ja. In Duitsland zegt ook niemand "Krieg der Sterne", hoewel dat de officiele titel is, maar ik woude de vertaalde titel gebruiken.
Yes. In Germany, nobody says "Krieg der Sterne", too, although that's the offical title, but I wanted to use the translated title.

.בישראל, כולם אומרים "מלחמת הכוכבים". אולי בגלל שסטאר וורז נשמע טפשי לחלוטין

In Israel, everybody says Milḥemet ha-Kokhavim, maybe because [staʁ woʁz] sounds totally stupid.

It actually turns out that most titles from a foreign language are translated into Hebrew. Planet of the Apes becomes Kokhav ha-Ḳofim ("The Monkey Planet"), but Spiderman stays the same rather than becoming Ish ‘Akavish. Even though that rhymes.

Tafsiri za Kijerumani za majina ya filamu ni mbaya sana kwa kawaida. Kama jina la Kiingereza halikubadilishwa, karibu sikuzote pana nukta mbili na kisha kichwa kidigo kinachoifafanua mno filamu ambalo ni halisi sana kiasi cha kuuma.
German translations of movie titles are usually terrible. If the english name hasn't been changed, there's nearly always a colon and then a painfully descriptive subtitle

日本は、普通に、英語のタイトルをかたかなにして、さらにときどきドイツと同じようにして、誰も言わないあんな珍しいサブタイトルを重ねる。でも、他の場合もある。たまになんとなく他の英語の言葉に引き換えちゃう(例:Arrivalのかわりにメッセージ、Whiplashのかわりにセッション)。そして、やっぱり一部は翻訳する、特に古いタイトルとか(例:Beauty and the Beastは美女と野獣になって、Frozenはアナと雪の女王になった)。慌ててるなー
In Japanese they normally use the English title (in katakana), but they sometimes do like German and add a weird subtitle that nobody pronounces. But there are other cases too - sometimes they randomly change the title to another English word (e.g. Arrival > Message, Whiplash > Session). And of course they translate some too, especially older titles (e.g. Beauty and the Beast is Bijou to Yajuu, and Frozen becomes "Anna and the snow queen"). It's confusing...

公開は他の国と同じくなったらよかったな。2017年なんでしょう！
I just wish they would release films on time here. It's 2017...!

*Ortographic trema to avoid pronouncing it [Ofisil@] instead of [OfisjEl@].
**Either "wou" (which is pretty much colloquial speech-only, though very common) or "wilde".

So Star Wars is called "War of the worlds"? Now that's confusing...

Al principio, kokhav se refería a un cuerpo celeste además de la Tierra, el Sol y la Luna. En sí mismo, por lo general significa ‘estrella’, pero puede ser un planeta también. Para explicitar un planeta, se puede decir kokhav lekhet (estrella caminante) o usar el préstamo planeṭa, pero el primero es un trabalenguas y el segundo no es bastante oficial.

Kokhav originally referred to an astronomical body other than the Earth, Sun and Moon. By itself, it usually means 'star,' but it could also be a planet. To specify a planet, you could say kokhav lekhet (walking star) or use the borrowing planeṭa, but the first is a mouthful and the second is too unofficial.

Heh, I should write in English as a foreign language, so many failures :). (Tbh, I used "it rains" since it not only was raining at the time, but it was forcast to rain the entire day, but I should've caught the "all/whole day" thing).

雨が降るでしょう
It's gonna rain.

英語での"it rains"って、いつも雨が降るとか、モンスーンシーズンで毎日雨が降るという文だけで使うよ
The only time we say "it rains" is in sentences like "it often rains" or "it rains every day in the monsoon season"

Ich wünsche dass es hier regen würde. In letzter Wochen ist es mehr oder weniger 40 Grade. Wir sind in der Trockenheit und könnten was Regen benutzen.

I wish it would rain here. In the last few weeks, is been more or less 104. We're in a drought and could use some rain.

Gestern hat es vier Zoll Regen hier geregnet.
Yesterday it rained four inches of rain here.

I think I would've said "It's raining" anyway, since "today" frames what's happening.

Sonst würde ich gesagt haben: „it's raining now/at the moment“.

Versteh mich nicht falsch; Regen ist gut. Aber viel Regen ist nicht gut, besonders im Stadt.
Don't get me wrong; rain is good. But lots of rain isn't good, especially in the city.

What's wrong with "the whole day"? I'd say either one ... but my English is getting weird. Is "the whole dag" really not OK?

Nothing is wrong with it. "The whole day" is fine. "The whole dag" is not, though.
