This work aims to address the translation of audio description scripts. We will approach the concept of audio description, the advantages and disadvantages of translating an audio descriptive script instead of creating and independent one for each language and the audio description guidelines found in the official norms of each country. More specifically, we will study the Spanish and the British guidelines in order to analyze the translation to English from an audio description script of a Spanish short film. We will demonstrate how a script can become closer to the British norm. We will also analize the translation of a script based on the source and target guidelines to notice the differences and resort to a specialized bibliography to understand the ways that audiodescription may take, more specifically in relation to the description and interpretation dichotomy. Thus, we will reflect on the importance of the consonance of audio description with the norms of the target country.
