Translation action is a complex task that involves a greater understanding of culture and must be performed critically so that there is a reflection on the meaning of words within a context and not just the handling of grammatical forms from a language to another. In this context, subtitle translation has emerged as a way of transmitting cultural values due to the fact that it is a tool that allows the interaction between different cultures. Thus, in this work the subtitles will be taken as reference, understanding them as a translation process that takes into account linguistic, technical and mainly cultural aspects. Taking into account the cultural aspects, this work aims to investigate the presence of cultural markers (CM) in the subtitles of five The Simpsons episodes related to North - American culture and analyze how these terms were translated, that is, which translation procedures (TP) are involved in the translation process of this CM. For this analysis, the Polysystem Theory, createded by Itamar Even-Zohar (1970), the Descriptive Translation Studies of Gideon Toury (1998), the domestication concept proposed by Venuti (1998) and the notion of TP offered by Vinay and Darbelnet (1995) were taken as reference. For the data collection, srt files were used with the original English subtitles and another file of the same format with subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese. Through comparative analysis, the CM were collected and subdivided into subcategories according to their characteristics to make the analysis systematized. This subdivision was developed by this work and does not represent a truth in itself, being susceptible of changes and critics in future studies. Therefore, six subcategories of CM were suggested: language, clothing, personal style, typical foods, arts and brands. In the second stage, these CM were organized into tables to be examined. Then, in the third stage of the work and for the analysis of the collected terms, an instrumental based on Vinay and Darbelnet (1995), Venuti (1998) and Ivacovoni (2009) were developed. After analyzing the data, the exposition of them was done through graphs. The study concluded that all the translation procedures indicated in the research literature were detected, however, it was necessary to include the TP of omission, since it appeared in some translations. It is concluded then that the analysis indicated that the translation of the subtitles chose to approximate the text to the culture of the target reader.
