Haha. Ken Kutaragi complained of Crash in the very early days that the "trees should wave their branches at you, giving the nostalgia of childhood." Or something like that. At the time we found it merely puzzling.
I usually end up mentally un-translating them because the translations end up sounding unnatural in English. Unusual uses of words like "nostalgia" and certain other bits of "translationese" make it easy to spot translations and identify the source language and not just for Japanese. For example, unnatural sounding uses of the word "illiberal" usually indicate statements translated from Chinese.
