Abstract: This bachelor’s degree Final Project focuses on German to Spanish translation of specialised texts from the field of linguistics and, specifically, on the translation of an excerpt from a research article dealing with Low German phonetics and phonology. The specific subject of the excerpt is the characteristic suprasegmental feature of many northern varieties that has been known by many names over the last century, e.g. Überlänge. The main purposes are to contribute to the dissemination of knowledge about Low German, and to suggest solutions for several translation problems that may serve as a base for future research or translations. In order to provide more context and to introduce the reader to the topic, the first part of the paper gives a brief overview of the language’s history and the process of language shift. Furthermore, the main linguistic features are described, focusing particularly on the Northern Low Saxon vowel system and the above-mentioned suprasegmental feature. In the second part, the source text is characterised and contextualised, the translation proposal is presented and some of the translation problems, especially those related to the terminology of this field, are analysed. As expected, there is not just one right solution and, in other contexts, different decisions might need to be made. In any case, the solutions presented here can serve as a starting point for further research and translation projects.
