Abstract: The Spanish subtitles of the series "Squid Game" caused a great controversy among professional translators. The series had been post-edited from the machine translation of the English subtitles and translators claimed that the result was poor. Shortly afterwards, the platform published a new version of the Spanish subtitles. This paper analyses the quality of the first version. For this purpose, the work has been divided into two parts. In the first part, a theoretical framework has been elaborated in which two main topics are addressed: audiovisual translation, specifically subtitling, and machine translation, with a focus on post-editing. The second part compares the two versions of the Spanish subtitles, classifying both the changes detected and the text reduction strategies used in the second version. In addition, possible better translations are proposed and the solutions given in both versions to the limitations of machine translation are analysed. Finally, it is concluded that there were some errors in the first version, although the main changes were of condensation, style and segmentation.
