    I know most of you won't care, but HBO needs to keep that translator. That guy was 100% on the money with his translating both ways. Best translator ever for HBO.

    Obviously I can't judge how well he was translating Martinez's words, but he seemed very animated and happy with what he just saw. He was more pleased than Martinez himself :lol:. So for that reason, I wouls also like HBO to keep him.

    What was he saying about a "hand"? I thought he said Williams' hand was hurting, which I assumed was a bad translation.

    I could understand everything Martinez was saying, although he uses the "voz" form, instead of "tu" because he's an Argie. The translator translated everything word for word.
