Ugh , expecting good translation for Indonesian subtitle is hard . It ' s almost as if publishers strive to pay the worst possible . The first thing I recognized many years ago was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , the novel . Ron sent a message to Harry , urging him to reply Pronto a . s . a . p . . The poor chap that translated it didn ' t know what Pronto is and translated it as reply with ' pronto '. This caused confusing moment when the translation reads if you can come , answer pronto , if you can ' t come , answer pronto too , why the fuck would the same answer mean two polar opposites ? Then , there ' s that Samurai X movie Tokyo Inferno . It ' s painfully obvious that the publisher had someone read the English script and translate it . For example , at some point the police chief ordered his men to fire their gun shoot , the subtitle says api flames instead . Whenever possible , DO NOT read the Indonesian subtitles , you WILL be misledOn the other hand , the latest Warkop movie employed a quality translator for the English subtitle , it was obviously someone with American English influence , and the translation style reflects the intention better than usual not a word by word blind translation
