Abstract

The seventh art has stabilized its proper place in the social and cultural level in different societies of the world. Although, in this art, the picture, sound, music and movement are very important but the role of speech in the transmission of sense is undeniable. Development and presentation of this art to the audience depends greatly on translation of the speech from the original language to the target language.
In this present study, first the standard features of audiovisual translation are introduced and the practical steps of this kind of translation in Iran are compared to them. Then an attempt is made to develop some criteria for evaluating audiovisual translation quality.
To this end, André Dussart assessment model which had been developed for literary translation and which is based on “omission, addition and transfer of meaning”, is examined in terms of its function and validity for evaluating audiovisual translation.
In order to illustrate the model, some examples are provided from two French movies, A Very long engagement and The Chorus, whose dubbed versions have been shown several times by IRIB.
