It looks like maybe they are only translating a subset of episodes, so maybe they will filter out things like my linguist friend's episode.

Here's a writing lesson though: The press release is unclear. It says:

"for a select number of catalog episodes and future episode releases."

Does "for a select number of" apply to just catalog episodes or future episodes too? If it's only catalog episodes, to be clear, it should say, "for future episode releases and a select number of catalog episodes."
