Dubbing a film in which dialect plays a central role not only in the language of some of its characters but also as a topic of discussion and a trigger of comic misunderstandings, is a challenge for any translator. The task of transferring the successful French film Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis (Welcome to the Sticks) with its extensive use of Picard into Spanish is a case in point. In its analysis of Bienvenidos al Norte, this article discusses several solutions to the problem, rejecting traditional options such as translating dialect into standard Spanish or into a Spanish dialect like Andalusian. The creation of an artificial Spanish is put forward as the best option and evaluated in phonological and lexical terms.Downloads
