Abstract
Translating cultural references from Spanish into English provides a unique experience for second-year students in the Translating and Interpreting degree course. This paper describes an interdisciplinary experience, encompassing both translation and documentation, and students learn to locate, evaluate and classify different type sources related to tourism. They also begin to overcome the difficulty of translating cultural references from Spanish to English. To illustrate our work, we present examples taken from students work. We also consider the process they went through and their comments to reach our conclusions.
