: Translation of Names of Characters and Names of Places in the Croatian Translation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"; Anamaria Jurković
Translating is not an easy task and a particular challenge is translating texts for children audiences. One of the most prominent issues in translating any type of text is the translation of culture-specific elements and when dealing with children’s literature in particular, it is the treatment of proper names because of the importance they carry in this type of a text. When facing a culture-specific content, translators usually opt for either preserving the element in its original form,...

: Translation of Queer Terminology in Croatian Subtitles; Tihana Ćuk
This dissertation inquires into how queer terminology and language are conveyed in the Croatian subtitles for Netflix's programmes. There is a general consensus that identity is expressed through language and, indeed, a queer community can be said to use a distinct language that projects the queer identity. It is the translator’s task, however, to express this same identity in another language. This dissertation, therefore, aims to gauge the degree to which two cultural systems differ or...

: Translation of Wordplay in Audiovisual Translation; Renard Vandekar
This paper explores the question of what strategies native Croatian speakers would employ in translating into Croatian wordplay from English video clips. A variety of brief video clips with different forms of wordplay were chosen as material for subtitling, all originally in English and requiring a greater or lesser familiarity with anglophone cultures. For the purposes of this paper, wordplay was considered a language-bound part of culture, requiring those familiar with said culture to...

: Translation of slang in Croatian and Russian translations of Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange; Tamara Mikac
For the young protagonists of his 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange written in the English language, Anthony Burgess invented a timeless slang called Nadsat, which is mainly based on the Russian language, thus challenging the translators with the task of preserving the linguistic creativity and atemporality employed in the novel. This must also be complemented by the easiness with which the slang is apprehended due to its embeddedness in the context. These factors render the translation process...
