Mine is people who separate words when they write. I’m Norwegian, and we can string together words indefinetly to make a new word. The never ending word may not make any sense, but it is gramatically correct...
When Swedish translators try to create a Swedish name for an English character it always ends up sounding silly. Batman was named “läderlappen” (the leather patch) for example.
Yesterday I heard that they translated Pennywise the clown as “clownen Snåljåpen”, which I guess gets the literal meaning across but also makes him feel like more of a stingy old man than an actual villain.
