They should be shot. (Warning to others: Don't assume you can transliterate everything correctly. You're ego gets in the way of your errors.)

See the lattest Pirates of Caribean and your ears will be hurt:( I talked last night with a friend of mine that works in the subtitles business about the poorer quality of subtitles in Romania and she told me there are less and less people working in the industry,unqualified and arrogant, the quantity of movies doubles daily, and you cannot afford fire them because there is nobody else to replace them. sad sad situation for Romanian audience.
