A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TRANSLATIONS OF THE SERIES THE GOOD PLACE

Abstract

The article discusses features of translation of one of the most popular and successful TV series of recent times The Good Place into Russian and compares the translation options for this series from different translation studios. The relevance of this study is determined by the constant growth of the film industry, the demand for high-quality localization in the translation services market, as well as insufficient study of film discourse in a comparative aspect. The main goal of the author is to describe the most important problems of language localization, and in order to achieve this goal, the following tasks are solved: TV series are considered as objects of translation and localization products; typical errors and problems that need to be solved by theorists and specialists in language localization of film production were analyzed. The scientific novelty of the proposed article is determined by the fact that there are problems of linguistic localization of film production in linguoculturological and translation aspects represented in the article on the material of non-closely related linguocultures, the lexical and speech specifics of TV series are revealed, and a typology of mistakes made by localizers when translating TV series content is presented as well. The author comes to the conclusion that the localization of TV series, which is considered a professional translation, as well as the linguocultural adaptation of the film product to the recipient culture, significantly affects the interpretation of the discursive space of the film.
