Carolina Salinas: Depende a quien está dirigida la traducción. Yo prefiero mantener los nombres originales y así lo he visto en América Latina. En España es común traducir los nombres. Saludos.

Kornelia Berceo-Schneider: En todo caso, me quedo con lo que dice Carolina: si es para España, traducirlo, en Latam están más americanizados.

16 hrs

-> Es cierto, Kornelia. En España la llamaban Princesa Gracia - solo en España.

agree

Daunia Jester: Kornelia, yo no creo que en Latinoamerica estemos más americanizados -finalmente LA es parte de América. Simplemente creo que respetamos el nombre original, contrariamente a la costumbre española de traducir los nombres.

Explanation:
Con gente de alto perfil, como la Reina Isabel de Inglaterrra, se suele traducir su nombre. En todas las revistas que he visto escritas en español, se le llama Princesa Gracia de Mónaco.

It took me a while to find something I had read a while ago about the subject in the Forum. Our colleague and moderator, Parrot, wrote the following, in reply to someone who asked if proper nouns should be translated. Here's the pertinent section of her answer:

On another hand, names that have historically and traditionally been translated (Popes -- presuming everyone departs from Latin -- Queen Elizabeth in the Spanish press, Prince Rainier in Italian -- considering his family origins) will change depending on the language. Thus, HRH Norodom Sihanouk is known to the west by his French transliteration, while you will have several versions of the late King Farouk/Farouq/Faruk: a reflection on the foreign relations of Egypt in that day.

History is one source for proper name translations in this respect, particularly literary history. Now that you mention Matthew, he falls into the category of universally-translated authors. There are others: Homer, Aristotle, St. Jerome... and their creatures, as well, to the extent that these form a kind of universal database (think: Cinderella has other names in a great number of languages).

Things that are a part of this universal treasure-trove tend to have translations. All the similes that Aesop originated (cunning as a fox, eyes of a lynx, crows that will pick your eyes out) have their versions in all the languages descended from that heritage.

I hope this helps!
