Sažetak

This study presents an examination of the handling of culture-specific items in four different
Croatian translations of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan. The aim of the study is to determine whether
the choice of translation strategies used by different translators is related to certain categories
of culture-specific items. The taxonomy for rendering culture-specific items (or
Extralinguistic Cultural Reference in subtitling) created by Jan Pedersen (2011) is used to
categorize the translation strategies used. The study shows that there is a correlation between
a preference for a particular translation strategy and a category of CSIs. For the items from the
category of names, the translators rely mostly on "Retention". For the items from the category
of objects they rely on "Generalization". For the items from the category of cultural practices
and products they rely on "Official Equivalent" and for rendering the items which belong to
the category of flora and fauna, the translators rely on "Substitution". In general, there are
more similarities than differences between the choices made by different translators on how to
render certain categories of CSIs, but, in some cases stylistic preferences of translators can be
recognized.
