Abstract:
Most shows we watch on TV are in reality a translation. Among what has to be translated we find colloquialisms, which might be difficult to translate due to differences in language and cultures. Therefore, it might be difficult to present a natural translation. The aim of this TFG was to analyse different colloquialisms from Euphoria and divide them depending of their type and translation strategy. Moreover, a survey was conducted to discover if the translation of Euphoria sounds natural. The results show that a great variety of translation strategies are used to translate colloquialisms. This wide variety is what makes that the translation of Euphoria sounds overall natural.
