rikpiece Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 Did any see the pre match interview on SSN? According to my brothers mother in law (who is a Spanish national) the translator was saying something completely different to what MP was saying. To me it looked like he was reading from a Pre prepared card... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 Yep, it was very odd to say the least. No idea what the translator was looking down at, but he certainly didn't seem to be translating verbatim (at one point MP mentioned Premier League a couple of times but the translater didn't come close to saying it). He needs to learn English pretty quickly, I'd suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 The reason why he was looking down is because he had an iPad with the app where it puts his speech into text. Then he read it out. No one cold remember word for word what he said. He goes on a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajjuk Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 I think he was trying to write it down, in the post match interview the translator stopped him because he was saying too much, but MP was also understanding the questions and looked like he wanted to answer before the translator came in.

Made in Southampton Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 Is he like that dude that translated for Ranieri? You know that steward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 21 January, 2013 Share Posted 21 January, 2013 Is he like that dude that translated for Ranieri? You know that steward? That was brilliant, Ranieri gave a 50 word answer which the guy basically put into a typical English cliche like "game of two halves". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smith Posted 22 January, 2013 Share Posted 22 January, 2013 It's because it doesn't matter what the manager said, it's all about what NC had written down and what he 'should' be saying! Only Joking NC, gotta go, a man with a horses head just turned up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
