The purpose of this study is to examine how subtitlers work to make their translation more visually convincing. Audio-visual translation, or subtitling, is not a verbal-only activity. It involves various channels of information: verbal visual, verbal auditory, non-verbal auditory, and non-verbal visual. Research so far has been focused on how subtitlers make their versions shorter to increase readability for viewers, and what messages could be lost during the process. For one specific Hollywood movie which involves two languages, this study looks at how subtitles convey additional information and at what techniques are used. This paper will provide some insights into why subtitling is not only about making shorter TTs and how important the translator intervention is, and how translators combine language and image into their version to maximize entertaining elements of movies. Lost in Translation shows what could also be added in translation.
