Abstract
This article explores the translation of French cultural references in AVT by analysing the Spanish subtitles of the series Dix pour cent (Call My Agent). An adaptation of Pedersen’s 2011 typology of extralinguistic cultural references (ECRs) and of their translation strategy in subtitling is used as a theoretical frame. The quantitative analysis shows that foreignisation is the dominant strategy, while a more detailed and qualitative analysis of the data reveals that this tendency is significantly more pronounced in ECRs thematically linked to France’s strongest areas of soft power, such as luxury brand or food and drink.
