ADAPTATION

Definition: it involves making significant changes to the content, structure, or context of the original text to better suit the target audience's linguistic, cultural, or contextual norms. Unlike modulation, which focuses on adjusting elements while maintaining the essence of the original message, adaptation may involve more extensive alterations to ensure that the translated text is relevant and effective in the target language and culture. 

Example 1:

Source text: "White chicks" Target text: "¿Donde están las rubias?"

In this example, the adaptation is implemented because the title in the target language had to be translated in order to express the idea about the main action that occurs in the movie. If the title were not translated, it would have been difficult for the spanish audience to get what the film was about.

Example 2:

Source text: "Life is like a box of chocolates"

Target text "La vida es como una caja de bombones"

In this example, the adaptation is implemented because the source text is translated in order to keep the original idea but making sense for the people from latin america. This is an adivice given by Forrest Gump's mother so, the adaptation tries to keep the empathetic spirit of the message while using a known phrase in spanish.
