Culture-Specific Items in the Subtitling of the Argentinian Film Wild Tales

Audiovisual translation is of particular importance due to its increased demand and the need of the people of the Arabic language to it. Culture-Specific Items are considered one of the most important aspects of audiovisual texts, as they reflect a large part of their spirit and identity. This study seeks to analyze the strategies of translating Culture-Specific Items in the subtitled films into Arabic, between foreignization and domestication, and evaluate the translator's handling of it, through a descriptive study of the subtitling of the Argentinian film Relatos salvajes (Wild Tales). The results of this study describe the translator's reliance on domestication as a general approach in transferring Culture-Specific Items into the Arabic language. Most of them were domesticated, whether there was a need for that or not.
