One typical example is Dyens' "Tango en skai", which, as everyone probably knows means something along the lines of "fake tango". Whoever published this piece in Russian didn't know enough French, so the piece is known to the Russian speaking audience as, translating verbatim, a "heavenly tango". Which suggests a rather different mood of interpretation. Another example (not from the guitar world) is Beethoven's piano sonata entitled (by him) "The tempest". There are probably more along these lines. And don’t forget the name of the piece too.
