Subtitling is a complex process that involves translating spoken dialogue into a target language while considering cultural, linguistic, and technical aspects. According to Gottfried (1994), good subtitles should be accurate, concise, and culturally sensitive. The subtitling process involves decisions on translation strategies, such as literal translation, adaptation, or omission (Zanotto, 2003).
