9. Translat<strong>in</strong>g the term «Contrat Première Embauche»<br />
Cultural <strong>Dialogue</strong> <strong>between</strong> France <strong>and</strong> Spa<strong>in</strong> 83<br />
The term Contrat Première Embauche or its acronym CPE could be a comprehension<br />
problem for the Spanish viewers. Hence, a translation or an explanation<br />
seems necessary for the Spanish news watcher.<br />
There is a general preference for paraphras<strong>in</strong>g the term, <strong>in</strong> fact, an explanation<br />
is most common. This is especially true for La 2 <strong>and</strong> TV3. TV3 stresses<br />
the confrontation of <strong>in</strong>terests, <strong>and</strong> La 2 the employment problems of the youth. La<br />
2, several times, <strong>in</strong>sists on the possibility of fir<strong>in</strong>g workers with<strong>in</strong> the first two<br />
years. Yet, none of the Spanish channels assert that the contract can become<br />
permanent after the trial period. The second preference is to be found <strong>in</strong> Cuatro,<br />
translat<strong>in</strong>g the term Contrat Première Embauche or paraphras<strong>in</strong>g the term, highlight<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the eventual positive effects of this contract for the young long-term unemployed.<br />
F<strong>in</strong>ally, we should say that the acronym CPE is never used, even though it<br />
was omnipresent <strong>in</strong> France at the time <strong>and</strong> could be seen <strong>in</strong> the banners of the<br />
demonstrators. This absence, which would f<strong>in</strong>d its explanation <strong>in</strong> the generally<br />
less frequent use of acronyms <strong>in</strong> Spa<strong>in</strong>, could be an <strong>in</strong>dication of ethnocentrism.<br />
In the follow<strong>in</strong>g chart we have gathered the different designations <strong>in</strong> the news<br />
we have analyzed:<br />
