Translation is a crucial bridge in global communication, preserving meaning across diverse languages and cultures with careful attention to nuances and intricacies. This
study analyzes the translation shifts in the movie "Luca" and aims to identify the most dominant type of shift used in the translation process. The research findings reveal 164 translation shifts in the movie's subtitles. Category shift emerges as the most frequent type, accounting for 131 shifts (79.88%), while level shift comprises 33 shifts (20.12%). Further examination of category shift sub-types shows that structure shift is the most prevalent, with 45 shifts (34.35%), followed by class shift with 21 shifts (16.03%), unit shift with 32 shifts (24.42%), and intra-system shift with 33 shifts (25.20%). This research is expected to hold significance in terms of its theoretical contributions to translation, particularly subtitling, as well as its practical implications for students and researchers investigating translation shifts. As globalization fosters increased cultural and artistic exchanges, understanding these shifts is anticipated to play a crucial role in facilitating effective communication across diverse languages and cultures.
