On that note, I've been reading through an English translation of All Quiet on the Western Front, and it tries to bridge the gap by swapping out German slang from the time for rough English equivalents.
Only it was translated in the 80's, so the people who translated it are operating on, like, media portrayals of ww1 British slang and laying it on way too thick.
It makes for an incredibly weird tone 'cos you have all these German farmers talking like overly stereotypical tommies, asking doctors if their injuries are "blighty ones", etc.
