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. ridulo.gif

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!
