A Sociedade Bíblica do Brasil (SBB) estará lançando na próxima sexta-feira (24) a primeira tradução bíblica no idioma Calon Chibi, falado pelos ciganos no Brasil. O livro de Rute foi traduzido neste idioma e será mostrado durante o 6º Encontro Nacional de Evangelização de Ciganos que acontece em Maringá (PR).

A tradução do livro foi feita durante o curso de Tradutores Indígenas da Bíblia (TIB) que aconteceu em janeiro de 2012. Os ciganos que participaram deste encontro ajudaram no trabalho, já que a história de Rute é curta, mas cheia de desafios linguísticos.

O secretário de Tradução e Publicações da SBB, Paulo Teixeira, comentou que este lançamento tem uma grande importância para a preservação dessa língua.  “A tradução dessa porção da Bíblia Sagrada é apenas o começo de mais uma missão assumida pela SBB, em parceria com outras entidades, de levar a Palavra de Deus a um povo em sua língua materna”.

Teixeira acredita também que a história traduzida tem muita ligação com a história do povo cigano. “Esse livro tem história, aventura e fala também sobre a mulher, família, tradição, nomadismo e migração. Tem tudo a ver com a história do povo cigano”.

Southern star Dhanush, who makes his Bollywood debut with ‘Raanjhanaa’, has finished the first phase of the movie`s dubbing.

Two Afghan interpreters who worked alongside British troops react to the news that interpreters like themselves are to be given the right to live in the UK.

Kollywood personalities share their views on what can be done to get local films international exposure.

Vishal: There are two factors that ought to be taken in to consideration if one wants regional cinema to break the barriers — lack of knowledge or proper channel through which a filmmaker can showcase his films at festivals, and the reluctance to subtitle their films while releasing it. Filmmakers, and everyone part of the industry, must take efforts to screen deserving films at international festivals. Also, they must be open to subtitling. All the Hindi films are subtitled before their release, but ours are not. Subtitling films will help our cause.

Lakshmi Rai: Tamil films have all the necessary qualifications to compete on international platforms.We are known for our talent and standard storytelling. However, I think we are not keen on promoting our films on the international stage. Our filmmakers need to work on this and project the film for foreign audiences too. Production houses need to make efforts to screen Tamil films at all international festivals. If we can do that, we will definitely receive laudable reviews from the global audience.

Hace un tiempo expliqué en este, mi diario, la traducción de algunos elementos de la televisión y del cine que bien me parecieron curiosos —en cuanto a los juegos de traducción que se habían usado—, bien me había horrorizado la opción que se había elegido. El horror con este tipo de elecciones no se ha ido, pero tampoco se ha ido la curiosidad por intentar ver qué tipos de traducciones se hacen en los diferentes campos audiovisuales; esta vez, le ha tocado a la publicidad, una rama que se ha dejado querer desde el primer momento. 

Os voy a poner dos casos: uno, cuya traducción me ha parecido acertada, del eslogan que lleva usando Maybelline desde hace años; y otro, de una campaña de los cereales All Bran de Kellogg's, en donde el sentido del mensaje está lost in translation (y nunca mejor dicho). Sin más dilación, allá vamos. MaybellineTodo el mundo conoce en España conoce el famoso eslogan de esta empresa de maquillaje. Estamos acostumbrados a ver los anuncios en los que salen supermodelos usando una barra de labios o una base de Maybelline e, incluso, algunos se atreven a cantar el famoso «Está en ti. Está en Maybelline». Esto me hizo pensar en cómo sería el eslogan en los países de habla inglesa y me encontré con un mensaje que, si bien no dista demasiado de la traducción, tiene, bajo mi punto de vista, un matiz diferente: «Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline.» es el eslogan original que luego se tradujo al español. Pero, ¿a qué se refiere? ¿Qué es lo que está en ti y está en Maybelline? ¿Qué es lo que confunde tanto para no saber si es maquillaje o no? La respuesta es la belleza: Maybelline ofrece su maquillaje para hacer que todas las chicas tengan la oportunidad de ser y de estar guapas, con una maquillaje tan natural que no se sabe si eres así de guapa natural o es gracias al maquillaje, como dice en inglés. En español, tiene un sentido un poco diferente, ya que, aunque guardando el referente de la belleza, no guarda el referente de lo natural («maybe she's born with it»); sin embargo, introduce un sentido vocativo («está en ti») que no tiene el original en inglés. De todas maneras, me parece una gran traducción que guarda la musicalidad del anuncio, algo que no siempre se puede conseguir.
