The great Imre Kertesz (anyone who gives a fig for my opinions, please feel urged to read this author if you haven’t already!) on being translated:
I really tried to protest against the first translations, but I found complete rejection. The publisher was not willing to do new translations. It was a really bad feeling. It was as if you had a very sane character who has a rendezvous with the reader and the person who shows up is basically a real jerk, with a stammer, bad breath and a foul mouth
