Languages are weird. Dialects alone are annoying. There are 3-4 ways to say High Five in Spanish, and a person will only know one of them. I genuinely thought one of them was Portuguese.
There are jokes in England entirely based on the accent. What did the smart skouse get on his report card? Eyyy eyyyy
That level of nuance will be lost. It's not the language, it's the culture. The only way to learn is spend time with the people.
However, if the story is told right, you don't need the translation. Zhang Yimou can make a film so well that the visuals and acting explain what is being said. I have seen anime that did the same.
The people trying to control the narrative have proven they don't care about either.
