Only knows some polish memes of this:

In this the translator literally explained how to read "Ninja" word.


Here the subs says:
This hotel is tiny.
but many years ago
there was recorded 07 zgłoś się (polish tv series from 70s)
an even Piotr Kupicha (guitarist) from band Feel stayed here (Feel was known and popular as a meme and seriously mainly cause of the song "Jak anioła głos" which means "Like an angel's voice"----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0hGYDD0KTI)



This is the reference in translation to a huge meme of polish news reporter who said on live by accident to Rurku with cussing that the table is fucked up and to not piss him. ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W479P3zXukk
[*] He passed away last year.




"A może by tak rzucić to wszystko i wyjechać w Bieszczady!?"/"A pierdolę to/Jebać to, jadę w Bieszczady" A very known polish saying and meme (soft and cuss version) which means "Maybe let's just throw everything away and go to Bieszczady (mountains) !?"



"Going out to sunlight is the worst after few all-nighters in LoL (League of Legends)"



"I have a bigger queque under my room/gabinet than the public debt of Poland"



Reference to a polish tv series of Cejrowski where he travels around world "Boso" (By barefoot) and here specifically about the episode with camels. (Couldn't find a clip but here example of how it looked like with the episode in Israel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxQeeadYTlU )



A reference to a very famous wedding song/sing "A teraz idziemy na jednego" Which means "And now We're going for a one (shot of vodka)" ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-NUX01XZG8


There are dozens of more about it as translators often likes to put their own references or trollings but so far those are the examples I found in few minutes of browsing polish internet x)

It's ironically funny when fan-subs don't want to translate the word but then leave the meaning of the word as a translator's note.


This shit happens because some fan-translators are incredibly stuck-up weaboos who insist that translating certain words is unfair to the Japanese culture or some religion or it's disrespecting the author. I was part of such a fan-translation group many years back.
