2. Literal translation.

And I'm going to come up with a catchphrase, then print it on everything from mugs to diapers. I'll get them drinking and stinking! Y yo pensaré en una frase pegadiza para imprimirla en todo, desde tazas hasta pañales. Estaré cuando beban y cuando hagan caca!

2. Examples

Example II

Conclusion

Translating a series requires much more than simply knowing the source and target languages. Series translators often have to deal with problems such as cultural references and also jokes that do not have direct equivalents. In summary, translating a series is a complex process.
