The explosion of e-commerce underscores the need for culturally adapted websites (Liu et al., 2022). Yet very few systematic studies have been conducted on the commercial localization of Spanish product descriptions and instructions genres for the Chinese market. This paper presents the preliminary results of the first stage in a study aimed at developing and testing a set of criteria to assess the quality of localized cosmetic instructions on Chinese third-party platforms. Specifically, we focus on the genre characteristics of B2C websites in three subcorpora: original Spanish, original Chinese and translated Chinese. We have applied models of analysis of functional moves in digital genres from Swalesian genre theory (Swales, 1990; Bhatia, 1993), and found that localized Chinese descriptions show more freedom in the functional structure than their Spanish source texts. The results are expected to provide guidance for translators in order to better attract Chinese consumers. 2024 artículo científico 1414-526X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=731980765019 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7319/731980765019/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7319/731980765019/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7319/731980765019/731980765019.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7319/731980765019/movil 10.5007/2175-7968.2024.e95230 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7319 Cadernos de Tradução application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Cadernos de Tradução (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.44 |
