Note:
Looks like it may originate from the Japanese: 超訳
https://www.herodictionary.com/en/%E8%B6%85%E8%A8%B3
(translation studies) an idiomatic translation that is further rewritten to read as fully natural Japanese

超訳 【ちょうやく】 (n,vs) super-liberal translation; making understandable and readable through free interpretation [Links]

Jim Breen's definition seems quite apt here.

Where I first saw this:

珍奶象徵台灣,義大利麵象徵裴洛西(義大利裔),珍奶+義大利麵象徵雙方友好,「打腫臉充胖子」暗諷中國外強中乾。大概是這樣超譯的吧?

^^ talking about Hebe Tien's recent instagram post.

·「超譯」卻是一切隨譯者高興,可以隨意擷取、刪除、合併、改編,
· 換句話說,「超譯」可以理解為「超級特別的翻譯」,或是「超級離譜的翻譯」、「超級不負責任的翻譯」等等。

也先聲明本文並非「影評」亦非「譯評」,因此各位讀者可放心閱讀,不會影響觀影樂趣。我也會在文章末段提供「超譯」的檢證方式,讓大家自行判斷。

It's a bit of a mixed bag:
In the case of Hebe Tien eating spaghetti to support Pelosi because she's an Italian-American - this is much less to do with literal translation.

When talking of subtitles and book translations - these are obviously referring to actual translations.
Diff:
# 超譯 超译 [chao1 yi4] /super-liberal translation/reading too much into things/
+ 超譯 超译 [chao1 yi4] /a translation that takes liberties with the original text/
