Translation of cultural references in biomedical texts on neuromuscular diseases (French-Spanish)

Studies that focus on the translation of biomedical texts often do not address issues of cultural nature. However, references appear in these texts to specific aspects of the sociocultural context in which they are generated. The aim of our study is to analyse the strategies followed to translate the cultural aspects encountered in a corpus of French texts on neuromuscular diseases that has been translated into Spanish. The references that have been identified are classified, analysed and the proposed translations are justified. This study will help to provide data on a new aspect in relation to the difficulties of translation of biomedical texts.
