I remember a time I was on a flight from Finland where they had a very long announcement in Finish, and then a very brief one in English. I'm sure non-english speeking people hear this all the time, what appears to be a very long announcment in a foreign language and then a brief one in a language they understood, but it was a new experience for me.

It made me think about a Saturday Night Live skit (back in the day when they were funny) when the translator was not actually translating what was actually being said.
