AB English-Spanish translation acts as an essential vehicle across several countries in order to accurately convey the meaning and ideas of certain art pieces. This purpose is harder to achieve when the piece selected is innovative. Such is the case of the translations produced of Orwell’s 1984. In this project, two Spanish translations of Orwell’s invented language, the Newspeak, in 1984 are analyzed as each was produced in two different political settings of Spain (i.e., in 1952 during Franco’s dictatorship and in 2013 under a democratic system). The contrastive analysis is focused on how the two translators, Vázquez Zamora and Temprano García, respectively, render in Spanish the socio-political neologisms found in the Newspeak. The results show that Vázquez Zamora mostly sticks to the literality in his translations whereas Temprano García manifests more creativeness. The interpretation of these results leads to the roles of two mutually influential factors: i) the different social-political environments both translators lived under in their respective timelines, which could imply different degrees in the limitation of each translator’s creativity; and ii) a more intrinsic motivation, i.e., the literary style each translator reflects in their works.
