It happens all the time. ESPECIALLY in idioms and jokes. You know how a joke loses all humour if you explain it? It feels even worse if you translate it into another language while trying to keep it in the same structure. It just won't work. Even if it does, some stuff's just too cultural to be properly conveyed.
