Abstract

The present article investigates subtitling issues in Hungarian and Romanian connected to the highly popular TV mini-series Band of Brothers. The introductory part offers a brief presentation of the importance of audiovisual translation and the challenge of fansubs to the detriment of professional translators, but we also offer definitions of military culture before analysing terms describing the branches of service (mostly) in the US Army.
