Most research on the translation of oral features has focused on studying fictive orality in western texts within the literary canon. There are a few studies about the translation of oral traditions, especially in Latin American texts. In Peru, oral literature has been excluded from the canon. In this context, we find The Tales of Old Uncle Lino—a stories compilation from Contumazá, in the province of Cajamarca. Both the oral features from the Andean literary genre willakuy, and the local dialect can be found in the writing of these tales. This study therefore aims to analyze how the willakuy’s pragmatic oral features in the source text were translated into English. For this purpose, content and contrastive analyses will be conducted. Firstly, willakuy’s characteristics, Andean Spanish’s dialect features, and oral language’s pragmatic features will be identified in the source text. Then, the translation techniques and the features of written language will be determined while comparing the Spanish and English versions. By examining these aspects, this study will determine if the oral features of the source text were standardized or not in the translation, since foreign cultural references are often omitted in English in order to show a fluent domesticated text. This standardization could eliminate the source text’s particular narrative style and its cultural function.
