MuTra 2006 – Audiovisual Translation Scenarios: Conference Proceedings Juan Francisco López Vera The question remains what would be the results if the same person did both? After all, translators are better trained to address cultural references and to adapt them to the target audience. Moreover, an original AD gives the appropriate cultural background and accordingly is more informative than the AD for the same film done from scratch. In this way, translators could avoid a significant loss of necessary cultural references and, if required e.g. by time constraints they can decide and distinguish together what is important in the original audio description and what can be left out, what must be kept and what can be sacrificed. Translators could take advantage of the original AD, adapt it and reformulate it in the time given (between dialog gaps) and in the appropriate linguistic register. It could also be argued that the translation of an original AD script could be more flexible and thus more creative than for example the translation of the DVD subtitles which are generated from a rigid master/genesis file which today is the generally accepted method of translating subtitles. Another point to be considered is that the creation of both from the original version of the film and translating the original AD is faster than waiting until the dubbed version is ready and then start with the AD in the target language. Obviously, the two first options could only be carried out by a professional with foreign language skills. In short, the original AD could be the basis for a more accurate, probably faster, and thus more economical version in the target language. This research is only one of the many projects underway at university level in the hope of making accessibility to the media an easier way for social integration. To reach this goal, the translation of audio description scripts should be considered not only as the way forward, but also as a possible step forward. 9 References AENOR (2005): “Norma UNE: 153020.
