Abstract

Unlike literary translations, where the translator is not limited by space, the film adaptor is faced with strong technical constraints, regardless of whether they relate to the movement of the mouth during dubbing or the restricted space reserved for subtitles.

Under such circumstances, is it always possible to respect the integrity and originality of the original dialogue, and what sort of concessions need to be made?
