* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The film's Spanish title in South America, "Perdidos en Tokio", Chinese title "Mi Shi Dong Jing", and its Hebrew title in Israel, "Avudim be-Tokio", all mean "Lost in Tokyo", meaning that the titles themselves were literally lost in translation. The reason is probably that "Lost in Translation" sounds like a discussion on translation in other languages. The title got lost in translation in other versions as well: the title in Portuguese translates as "Love is a Strange Place"; the title in Polish translates as "In Between Words".

* ActorInspiredElement: Before production began on the film, Creator/BillMurray was in Japan with his brothers for a golfing event, and while drinking at the bar he noticed a picture of Creator/HarrisonFord on his drink coaster advertising Kirin Lager beer. Murray noticed a very sour look on his face, as if to say: "I can't believe I'm shilling this crap." He decided to integrate that into his performance, the self-loathing of a famous actor having to shill overseas.

Creator Chosen Casting is when the casting of an adaptation is influenced by the creator of the work being adapted; an original character written for a specific actor is not an example

* CreatorChosenCasting: Creator/SofiaCoppola envisioned Creator/BillMurray playing Bob Harris from the beginning, wanting to show off "his more sensitive side" and feeling amused by the image of him dressed in a kimono. She described her mental pictures of Murray as a significant source of inspiration for the story. She later stated that she couldn't have made the film without him.

* CastTheExpert: Catherine Lambert, the redheaded lounge singer, wasn't a professional actress. Creator/SofiaCoppola witnessed Catherine performing in Tokyo in 2001. A year later, her producer Ross Katz from Elemental Films (based in New York) tracked Catherine down in South Australia and invited her to return to Tokyo to play the part of the "Red Haired Jazz Singer".

* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: This is Creator/BillMurray's favorite film of his own.
* {{Defictionalization}}: Suntory started using the CatchPhrase from the fictional Suntory ads in actual Suntory ads run in the United States (which also led Suntory to attempt an expansion of their distribution in America).
* DeniedParody: Rumor has it that Kelly was supposedly Creator/CameronDiaz, with whom Creator/SpikeJonze worked with on ''Film/BeingJohnMalkovich'', though Creator/SofiaCoppola denied the connection in an ''Entertainment Weekly'' interview.
* ShrugOfGod: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1vhjag/bill_murray_here_ok_ill_talk_ill_talk/cesbi9u When asked during a Reddit AMA what he said to Johansson at the end of the film,]] Murray responded: "You know? [[TrollingCreator I forget.]]"
* StarMakingRole: For Creator/ScarlettJohansson,which firmly established who had already starred in a few other movies but ''Lost in Translation'' made her as a leading lady into an A-lister.
* StarringAStarAsAStar: Aging American movie star Bob Harris is played by aging American movie star Creator/BillMurray.
* ThrowItIn:
** The screenplay was very loose and informal, with few lines actually written down ahead of time. Much of the dialogue, particularly from Bob, was ad-libbed.
** TheChanteuse inHollywood.the hotel bar was not an actress, but the actual singer performing in the hotel bar. Creator/SofiaCoppola heard her perform "Scarborough Fair" and wrote her into the movie.
* UnderageCasting: Creator/ScarlettJohansson was just about to turn 18 and finished high school at the time of shooting, playing a married college graduate in her early twenties. Her husky voice and excellent performance make the discrepancy virtually imperceptible.
* WriteWhatYouKnow: The inspiration for having Bob Harris do a Suntory whisky commercial was partially inspired by the fact that Creator/FrancisFordCoppola made a real Suntory commercial with Creator/AkiraKurosawa in TheSeventies.
* WriteWhoYouKnow: John was loosely based on her then-husband Creator/SpikeJonze.
