Please no. Some subtitle companies do think like this, and it's really weird, like when they try to "convert" cultural jokes, and then add in a bunch of more assumptions regarding what cultures you're aware of depending on the subtitle language, making it even harder to understand...
Just because I want my subtitles in English, doesn't mean I want all typical discussed Spanish food names to be replaced by "kind of the same" British names, yet something like that is something I've come across before. Horrible.
