They could afford to play big bucks, but even just finding a Russian grad who had some grasp would be a start, y'know?
Honestly? Give me some good basic grammar books and *I* could do better! At least I understand that idioms are a bad idea.
when you consider how much cash these movies make, you'd think they could find someone who had a better grasp of Russian/German/whatever than bloody Google translate.
I mean really. Can you imagine the number of language students who'd basically blow people to have their names in the credits as "Russian language translator", much less actually be *paid* for it?
