Seeking help with a word in a Spanish movie....
this is a tuff one for me I am watching Frankenweenie 2012 in hardcoded Spanish Audio with English Subs. and cant seem to translate a missing word in the sentence as the translation I got on spanishdict was wrong as well as the Spanish and English Subtitles. : 00:34:46
00:34:51 ¡Tu perro está vivo!
00:34:54
00:34:55 - Eso es imposible.
- Ya lo sé.
00:34:57
00:34:57 ¡Sé que es imposible,
pero lo lograste! ¡Lo lograste!
00:35:02
00:35:04 Enséñame cómo
o se lo digo a todos.
@34:57 I got out of the audio was so far "se que es algo imposible pero lo has conseguido. lo has conseguido" which may be wrong to. when I put my translation in spanishdict translator I got:
(is that it is impossible but you've succeeded. you've got it)
and 2 other off translations. the spanish translation above is not even what the audio says and in the english subs it says: (I know it is so impossible, but you did it. You did it!) In the translation I heard and looking at the English subs looks like I am missing the work -so- but not sure yet??? p.s. I got the audio part by speaking into my cell phone using the google translator app for android and thats what it came up with cause he said it real fast I think I heard a word in the sentence I could not repeat and left out my mistake any help on this?

The word 'so' stressed the adjective 'impossible'. The word-by-word translation in spanish would be 'tan impossible', but sounds weird unless it is stated with a correct entonation line that subtitles cannot reproduce. To avoid this problem I'd translate it as 'totalmente imposible' or 'completamente imposible', but the subtitles are forced to summarize the main message.
