Cultura española en la pantalla china: la transferencia de referentes culturales de la serie de televisión española El ministerio del tiempo en el fansubbing de China

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the translation techniques used by two Chinese fansubbing groups (ShenYing and YYeTs) in the rendering of cultural references from the TV series The Ministry of Time (El Ministerio del Tiempo). The results show that both groups have the same preference in translation techniques except for notes on the screen (amplification). Based on the analysis of each technique and its connection with our classification of cultural references, we find that generally transculturality and the domains to which references are ascribed have more influence than the centrality of the reference in the rendering of verbal references, whereas, in non-verbal references, no priority of any of these three factors is found.
