Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to shed some light on the art of translating spoken English into Swedish subtitles. An introduction to subtitling and answers to questions about what is lost in this particular translation process is presented. Focus is put on errors which have personality changing effects, meaning that a character’s personality is perceived differently by a native English speaker than by a native Swede, who relies on subtitles to convey what, and how, something is said. A well worked-out categorisation process shows two main error categories: altering character, which is further divided into three subcategories, and non-altering character, which is used as a reference group.
