Day 7 - METAPUZZLE: "Translate"

The Solution

EDITOR'S NOTE: I HATE THIS PUZZLE SORRY

If we translate the script into American English, it says something like this:

STANLEY (German)
I just realized that I have exactly two letters in common with the answer from the first puzzle. Will we get in trouble?

PAM (Authentic British)
I think so! I, too, have a letter in common with the second one! Isn't that rather suspicious?

MICHAEL (French)
You'd think that a Cogirep regional manager would have more letters in common with his answer, but I only have one. ("Cogirep" indicates that this is European French The Office and not Canadian French The Office.)

JIM (German)
I have more than one letter in common with my answer, but only one is in the same position, which might make you think that the other isn't worth mentioning.

OSCAR (Czech)
That also describes my situation. But lots of words have letters in common. It's fine.

KEVIN (Hindi)
One particular letter is doubled in both my name and my answer!

Each language used represents an international (or original) version of The Office, and each version has a character that can be linked to the American version named here, some more tenuously than others. The accountants don't really have a one-to-one correspondence with their Czech and Hindi versions, and Stanley doesn't match up with any particular German character at all.

BUT if you try to find someone in basically the same role, who also fits the clue given about their name and their corresponding answer, then you should be able to reach these conclusions unambiguously. "SHOULD."

The matching letters spell the answer, LAWSUIT. I apologize again.
