Hello all.

I have a video in Hebrew, subtitled in English and translated into Spanish. One of the characters is Spanish and she calls her boyfriend "mi amor". Would this go in italics?

Also, she sometimes speaks to him in Spanish, but the audio is not very clear. The Spanish subtitles are a translation of the English ones, not a transcription of what the girl is saying.
