i love reading fanscans with janky English translations because you can often reverse engineer the translations to figure out where the translator made the mistake, which tells you more about how their native language works as well as how they interpret English.
for example, i was watching an anime fansub recently, and there's a scene where Character A asks Character B if he's all right after a nasty fall. Character B responds that he's "sufficient." What probably happened is that the translator realized they needed a word meaning "unhurt" (as in "i'm okay"), looked it up in an English dictionary, and ended up picking the right word for the wrong context - in this case, they wanted "i'm okay (unhurt)" but ended up using a word meaning "i'm okay (good enough)" instead.
another example is a Korean manhwa i'm reading, which has characters going "yes??" every time something shocking or upsetting happens. the characters are likely using the Korean acknowledgement word ne (same principle as hai in Japanese), but it's getting translated as "yes" because the translators didn't know what else to use in this situation (in this case, a more natural translation would be "huh??" or "what??")
even with professionally-translated media, i have similar experiences. i can read dialogue where characters clunkily call each other "Brother/Sister" and know they're using cultural terms beneath the translation, or dialogue where characters call each other "Mr./Miss" or "good sir/madam" in weird places and know that they're really using an honorific.
and i just think it's interesting! i love looking behind the curtain and seeing the human beings behind the translation chugging along with their levers and machines, manually figuring out a workable translation word by word. i love learning enough about a language that i can see the holes beneath the patches, the grammatical oddities and ever-so-slightly untranslatable cultural norms that couldn't carry over in my own mother tongue. It feels like a multicultural puzzle and makes me feel a little more connected to people on the other side of the world.
