Abstract

This paper studies the phraseological translation considered as one of the challenging pitfalls for translators. The error that the translator commits in any of the phases of the translational process, from the identification of the phraseological unit and the interpretation of it, to the search of equivalents in the target language and the establishment of correspondences in the target text, can produce a meaning that is different than the one presented in the source text. This study analyzes the translation of proverbs and idioms in the three Arabic versions of Lazarillo de Tormes, focusing on the translation techniques managed by the translators.
