Abstract

Given that multilingualism is nowadays an increasingly common phenomenon, it comes as no surprise that more and more films use it as a resource to develop their plots. However, its presence in audiovisual texts often adds translation difficulties to the process of transferring the original content of a film to another language, since in these cases translators have to deal with the transfer of a source text comprising two or more different languages. Furthermore, such translation process is particularly difficult if one of the involved languages coincides with the target language and if the chosen translation mode is dubbing. That is the reason why the main aim of this project is to verify, through the analysis of the dubbing of a multilingual film that fulfills such characteristics (The Backwoods), the different possible translation strategies for these cases, as well as the consequences that they might entail. In addition, the suitability of adapting the content of the original plurilingual script in cases where there is a willingness to linguistically standardize the dubbed version is also defended. To do so, alternative solutions based on this technique are provided for the scenes that are incongruent or open to improvement in the dubbing of The Backwoods. All in all, what is intended is to demonstrate the importance of considering the plurality of languages as a translation problem whose solution should consist in trying to maintain it or, at least, in trying to preserve its more relevant functions.
