As I was walking up the road to our office from lunch the other day, I was walking past a little cinema. The awesome part about this little cinema (which is basically a box room with a small TV, where people can watch movies for a small fee) is that they play all kinds of movies from all over the world, that are all dubbed in Luganda, the local language. But – how it works, is that they play the movie in its original language for about 5-10 seconds, then they pause it while they translate what just happened into Luganda.
Imagine watching a movie like that. And all of them are like that. There is even a national station on TV that plays really horrible American shows… these ones – unlike the movies are played continuously, and translated/dubbed over in Luganda. The bad part though, is that they don’t get rid of the English and just play the Luganda. Both are played at the same time. Imagine!
