I just stumbled upon a clip to the scene where Gene Kelly is singing the title song to the movie "Singing in the Rain" with Esperanto captioning (link here):

My question is why does the person have it translated as "Kantante sub la Pluvo?"
Doesn't that translate to singing under the rain? Is it just a style thing the reason that the person used the word sub, or is this one of those cases where a literal translation doesn't work and for whatever reason "Kantante en la Pluvo" isn't correct?
Thanks.

NiteMirror:Yes, It would be literally "while singing under the rain" which also strikes me as odd. I also would have chosen "en la pluvo" for the translation, or perhaps "je la pluvo".

Also, I would choose kantanta instead of kantante - as in:
(Mi estas) kantanta en la pluvo

I would have also chosen "kantanta en la pluvo." instead of "(while) singing under the rain." As that's the closest translation. I made a note as a comment, but either way I'm happy to see translations!
