It happens sometimes with translations... aslo there are things that cannot be translated. For example, my LoTR books are in spanish and that funny quote of Sam telling Gandalf that there were no Eaves in his garden (I can't remember the exact quote but it appears on the top right of the page sometimes). In Spanish, there is no exact translation for "eavesdropping" and therefore the joke does not work.
