The adaptation/adjustment phase is one of the most important steps in the process of translation for film dubbing. In Spain, depending on the autonomous community, this task can be performed either by the translating agent, as is the case in Catalonia and Euskadi; or by a different entity, as is the case in Madrid or Galicia, where it is usually the dubbing director who performs it (in addition to directing the voice over process itself). In consequence, this article aims to analyse the various modifications/manipulations undergone by the translated script of Ayache-Vidal’s 2017 film Les grands esprits (O bo mestre in Galician, El buen maestro in Spanish) as part of the adaptation/adjustment performed by the dubbing director. For this purpose we will be making use of the methodology of analysis proposed by Agost Canós (1999), while also taking into account the ideology of the text, and, more importantly, of the paratext, from a paratranslation perspective, based on the work of the University of Vigo’s Translation & Paratranslation research group.
