Here in France, we kept the original title. It's a tendency that began one
or two years ago here. But in that case, as nearly everybody in France
knows what the word "love" means, the original title is nearly transparent
to us. If we were to translate it, I can't see any other possibility than
"Shakespeare amoureux" and I don't like it at all (too colloquial).
