In the context of Audiovisual Translation (AVT), the focus is not only on the linguistic text itself but also on what is being presented to the viewer-meaning, what is present in the characters’ dialogues, narrations, or posters, as well as the images and soundtrack, with or without text, in addition to cinematography and other specific elements of this form of art. Dubbing translation for animated feature films is a specific area within AVT that requires special care to ensure that the content is appropriate and understandable for the target audience, especially in the case of children’s animated films. In general, cartoons in Brazil tend to have dubbing centered on the target audience, creating a domesticating character, primarily so that children feel engaged and have no difficulty understanding. Another challenge lies in the songs from the soundtrack, common in this film genre, which are usually dubbed and often play a prominent role. Consequently, it is relevant to analyze how these translations are performed, which procedures are adopted, and, especially, how challenges are overcome. The overall objective of this work is to investigate the translation for the dubbing of the animated film “Tangled” (2010) into Brazilian Portuguese. To achieve this goal, the specific objectives are: (1) to conduct a literature review on the translation of dubbing for children's animated films, particularly musicals; (2) to provide an overview of research on the topic; (3) to analyze and describe the translation strategies for character names and toponyms; (4) to analyze and describe the translation of songs. To achieve these objectives, we draw on descriptive studies by Lambert and Van Gorp (1985), Toury (1995), and Low's Pentathlon Approach (2005).

Translation between Libras and Portuguese involves specific competencies, given that they are languages of different modalities. The general objective of this study was to investigate lexical access in Libras-Portuguese translation by Libras interpreters through response time and accuracy measures. Using a quantitative experimental approach, an experiment was constructed with a corpus of 40 Libras signs, characterized as real and unreal. A hand configuration was selected as a parameter to be subjected to variation and form the unreal signs. Substantive signs without semantic relation were selected. For sign validation, the Capovila trilingual dictionary (2002) and the INES online dictionary (n.d.) were used. The research was conducted online using the PsyToolkit tool (STOET, 2010, 2017). The 70 participants performed two tasks: one lexical decision task and another multiple-choice translation task, where they viewed three translation options and had to choose the correct item. After completing the tasks, the collected data on response time (in milliseconds) and accuracy were processed using the R-Studio tool. In the lexical decision task, the analysis showed significant differences between the experimental conditions (real and unreal) regarding response time and accuracy, indicating that understanding Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) involves complex processing, and that cognitive effort increases when the sign does not belong to a known linguistic system, thus strengthening Libras' status as a natural language with all its linguistic parameters. The analysis of the multiple-choice translation task showed a significant difference between the conditions only for accuracy, but not for response time. This result partially confirms the initial hypothesis that participants would require more response time when translating real signs when these signs were seen in the unreal condition during the first task. It is worth highlighting the relevance of this research, given the scarcity of studies on cognitive processing in translation between Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) and Portuguese, especially from a psycholinguistic perspective. Understanding these processes is fundamental to improving the training of translators and interpreters, and to contributing to theoretical advancements in Translation Studies and Psycholinguistics applied to sign languages.

The theoretical framework is based on scholars in the field of language teaching and learning, such as Atkinson (1998), focusing on pedagogical translation for teaching; Balboni (2011), who presents theories on learning focused on language teaching; Romanelli (2009), whose research focuses on teacher training, beliefs in language teaching, and pedagogical practices; and Liberatti (2012), who addresses translation, foreign language teaching, and their pedagogical implications in the classroom. The data were obtained through the application and analysis of a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions that addressed teachers’ beliefs about the use of translation during foreign language classes, as well as through the analysis of a field diary. The results of the study revealed that, even after translation began to be recognized as a valid pedagogical tool for learners’ development and despite increased acceptance among teachers, the belief that translation may hinder students’ learning remains a significant factor. Therefore, although translation has been progressively accepted and reintegrated into classroom practices, traces of discourse opposing its use still persist.

The work of Maria Firmina is the first of its genre to be published by a Black woman in Brazil and the first published by a woman in Latin America. The focus of our analysis is the translation of the novel by Cristina Ferreira Pinto-Bailey, published under the imprint of Tagus Press. Framed within Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS), this research adopts Chesterman's (2016) taxonomy as its core framework, a model built upon the seminal work of Holmes (1990), Even-Zohar (1997), and Toury (2012). Although this taxonomy encompasses the semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic levels of the text, this research has as a primary goal to analyze which pragmatic-level translation strategies are evident in Pinto-Bailey's translation of a 19th-century novel for a 21st-century audience. The secondary goals are 1) to identify the pragmatic translation strategies used by Cristina Ferreira Pinto-Bailey in the translation of the novel Úrsula into English; 2) to describe the pragmatic translation strategies used by Cristina Ferreira Pinto-Bailey in the translation of the novel Úrsula into English; and 3) to point out which of the identified strategies occurred most frequently in Cristina Ferreira Pinto-Bailey's translation. To achieve these goals, we analyzed the collected excerpts by comparing source and target text segments and categorizing and describing the translation solutions according to the pragmatic strategies outlined by Chesterman (2016). Although quantification was not the primary goal, we also noted which of these strategies occurred most frequently and briefly discussed potential reasons for this asymmetry. We found that all of Chesterman's (2016) pragmatic translation strategies were present in our object of study, to varying degrees. Strategies such as cultural filtering (Pr1), explicitation change (Pr2), information change (Pr3), and coherence change (Pr6) stood out for their frequency, reflecting the inherent challenges of translating texts situated in such distinct temporal and cultural contexts. We conclude our study by presenting final considerations on the collected data and the potential implications of these findings, which contribute to a broader understanding of the translation studies and the translation of historically situated literary works.
