Solved

Quoting Spanish dialogue found in an English-language movie.

Contribution #250727-180046-796000 What exactly am I doing wrong here? I spent literal hours going over this to verify both the accuracy of the quote and the identities of the speakers. Do I need to translate the text to English before posting it? I don't speak Spanish, and I don't know what steps to take to verify if a translation is accurate or not. Some of the details could be "lost in translation."

Hi Random_guy- Thank you for posting the submission reference number! Further reviewing, as per our guides quotes must be in English. Now for these, the quote text should be translated and provided in English and have the Spanish language in brackets [In Spanish]. For example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2967224/quotes/?item=qt2601425 For further information, you can also review our Help Guide: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/quotes/GJQY7DAWS89JU5AA?ref_=helpsrall# Cheers!

I understand completely. Any chance you could suggest a good translation website? I understand Google Translate isn't exactly 100% reliable when it comes to accuracy.

@Random_guy- Thanks! Unfortunately, no but if there are users that might know a reliable website that they perhaps use in occassions or regularly, they can comment on this post.

@Random_guy: You state "I understand Google Translate isn't exactly 100% reliable when it comes to accuracy." I think you're right about that, but I actually think that goes for all translation sites, as they can never (fully) know the context of the film and very probably miss the human nuances that make language language. (it seems IMDb has a thing or two to learn about this too: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/a-new-strange-translation-into-german-on-the-page/6883ddf1beb07543430f2dac).

Hi, @Random_guy: Just out of curiosity, may you share with us what title and scene it is?
