Subtitle: The Machinist Arabic
The accuracy of the Arabic subtitle was evaluated by comparing it to the original English dialogue. The researcher found several instances where the translation was inaccurate or inconsistent. For example, in one scene, Trevor Reznik (played by Christian Bale) says, "I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants." The Arabic subtitle translates this line as, "أنا لست نباتياً لأنني أحب الحيوانات. أنا نباتياً لأنني أكره النباتات." (I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants.) However, a more accurate translation would be, "أنا لست نباتياً لأنني أحب الحيوانات. أنا نباتياً لأنني لا أستطيع تحمل فكرة أكل الحيوانات." (I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. I'm a vegetarian because I don't want to eat animals.)
