چکیده

This study examined the translation strategies employed by two groups of translators, IRIB official and non/semi-professional translators, in the context of audiovisual translation of movies. It also explored the existence of any significant relationship between the genre, production year of the movies and the translation strategies. To this end, a total of 151 English movies, animations, and series titles in various genres from various years, but mostly from 2008 to 2018, and their Persian translations were collected. All the movies were commonly translated by IRIB and non/semi-professional translators. First the translation strategy of the titles was qualitatively examined, then the strategies, genre, date and group of translators were coded to be quantisized for statistical calculations. The obtained data were analyzed using non/parametric statistical procedure. The results indicated that IRIB translators used transcreation, free translation (substitution), and direct translation as the first, second, and third frequent strategies, respectively. For the non/semi-professional group, direct translation, free translation (substitution), and transcreation were the most common strategies. In order to remove any bias for or against any distinctive results, 50 movie titles translated by one of these groups were selected for both groups of translators. The data analysis showed similar results. The analysis also revealed that IRIB translators do not consider the movie genre while the other group pays attention to the genre of the movies. Another finding was that IRIB translators have diversified their translation strategies over years and particularly over the last two decades, whereas non/semi-professionals have almost used the same pattern of strategies over the years.
