AB This study analyzes the translation of cultural references from Spanish to AmericanEnglish in the first novel of the children's literary series Manolito Gafotas. For thispurpose, the translation techniques that Moriarty used for adapting these references havebeen considered. The translation of cultural references involves a high degree ofdifficulty, since they are elements that are closely linked to one culture and in many casesdo not exist in another. In addition to this, censorship and correction are other fundamentalelements that have governed the translation of this novel and have led to the eliminationof some references in order to create a more accessible content for American readers.Finally, with this analysis we have tried to observe whether the translation of the culturalreferences has brought the original text closer to the American culture or not.
