Inasmuch as translation of movie titles from English into Spanish and Russian has not received much attention, the aim of the present paper is to analyse the techniques applied to translate English film titles into Spanish and Russian, as well as make a comparison between both languages so as to detect potential differences in their usage. First, a brief introduction establishes the framework of the current study. Second, existing research and translation taxonomies are reviewed and relevant theoretical background is revised. Third, a corpus of sixty-four English movie titles, belonging to three genres, that is to say, action, adventure and comedy, and their equivalents in Spanish and Russian are analysed in order to obtain the required data. The practical analysis was based on the taxonomy of Lu (2009). Fourth, evaluation of our results indicates that Spanish and Russian translators opt for similar techniques even though both languages differ widely from one another. On average, results of the ongoing research are consistent with the previous studies. Additionally, outcomes suggest that an updated version of translation techniques taxonomy for movie titles might be proposed due to a large number of exceptions. We may conclude that the translation process of movie titles is a complex and demanding task which depends not only on linguistic aspects but also on non-linguistic features, directly related to a given language, including culture, values, and attitudes among others.
