    So this is from Magic: the Gathering, not yugioh, but one of my favourite mistranslations is the card Descend Upon the Sinful, which when translated into french mistakenly used the word "'pêcheurs" for sinful instead of "pécheurs".

    another fun one is that Treeborn frog in french for a long time didn't had "frog" in it's name (was called rainette, which is a great pun tbh) which meant that on top of having "excluding frog the jam" every frog card ALSO had "but including treeborn frog" adding like an entire line to almost every frog's effect

    I didnt comment this on the actual thread (because i forgot) but Eldlich the Golden Lord is called Eldlich, o Senhor Dourado in portuguese, which IS the correct translation, but Dourado is a fairly common last name in Brazil, and "senhor" also means "sir" or "mister" so the name feels a lot less grandiose in portuguese, since it accidentally becomes something mundane like "Eldlich, Mr. Johnson"

    You know, the worst part of all of this is that "Hochgeschwindigkeitsroid Gummiband-Schütze" is a LITERAL TRANSLATION of the english name of the card.
    "Hoch" means high.
    Roid stays the same.
    "Gummi" means rubber, so "Gummiband" is Rubber Band
    "Schütze" means shooter.

    Because the German word for "Nurse" in "Nurse Dragonmaid" is "Krankenschwester", and the translation team didn't know it stood for nursery, we have "Drachenmädchen Rentnerwachskeks" as "Dragonmaid Ernus", to keep all the letters.
    But thats just the 3 words "pensioner", "growth" and "cookie" back to back. Its so weird to say.

    I have to spit out a bunch of Italian translation issues here right now. Excluding stuff already mentioned by other commenters:
    -The original translation of V-Jet Tiger's flavor text that interpreted the reference to dogfighting as in actual dogs fighting
    -Naturia Eggplant that interpreted the "Eggplant" part as an egg that is also a plant
    -Dragonmaid Sheou keeping the English name while all the other ones had their anagram names properly redone (I think it's because the word they chose to translate House Dragonmaid could potentially include the N-word when you shuffle the letters around)
    -In fact, Dragonmaids were all mistranslated as Dragondamsels ("Dragonzella")
    -Miracle Kids being translated as "Miraculous boy" despite not only the English name was plural but Hero Kid was made into a girl
    -And also all those card names that in Italy somehow dodged censorship, such as Des Kangaroo and Barrel Dragon being reverted to their original Japanese names of Death Kangaroo and Revolver Dragon or TY-PHON being called a "Super Starmurderer"
    -Also, remember Ill Blud? Well, for some reason they decided to call him Galeogrugno, which basically means "Pug-faced convict".

    Fun fact about MtG translation in that case: There exists a card named Wild Nacatl, which was just a bulk common from a set 15 years ago. But in the States the german version somehow rose to nearly 10 bucks because it was the Wilder Nacatl, which made it somehow better.

    I often talk about "Whitebeard, the Plunder Patroll Helm" and how its french translator misunderstood the "Helm" part as coming from "helmet" instead of "helmsman". Leading to the dude being Casque de la Patroll du Pillage instead of Timonier de la Patroll du Pillage. There are countless examples like this one.

    "Testudo erat Numen" and "Numen erat Testudo" have the same name in English, French, Italian and Spanish. German decided to translate the Latin into "Die Schildkröte war göttlich"/"Göttlich war die Schildkröte" ("The turtle was divine"/"Divine was the turtle") Everyone else has to learn Latin to understand the lore of this turtle, but the german translation team found it very important to give it to us straight that this turtle used to be divine.
    also, "Reverse Buster", random packfiller that busts reverse (=face-down) monsters, was translated into german with "buster" not as in "destroyer" but as in "what an old person calls a young troublemaker" to "Umkehrbursche" ("reverse lad") Through a couple layers of abstraction he's basically gone from "face-down destroyer" to "buddy who turns things around"

    While we can (and should) laught at bad translations, we need to keep in mind that in many cases, especially before the brand was established, translators would only be given the text itself with little to no context, and strict daily quotas to meet. This could explain mistranslations such as "light" becoming "not heavy", and "donkey" being misread as "monkey". Italy seems especially prone to this, as the demand for translation is very high and English literacy is relatively low.
