: 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

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...

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...
