A Translational Approach3oBJectivesTo describe how multilingualism is tackled in cinema productions, by using a corpus of •	 polyglot Spanish	filmsTo identify a set of •	 strategies by which foreign languages are conveyed to the original Spanish audience	when	these	languages	appear	in	the	original	filmSpecific objectivesTo	select	a	representative	corpus	of	Spanish	polyglot	films	released	in	Spain	in	the	last	two	de-•	cades on DVDTo	analyse	these	films	from	a	micro-textual,	descriptive	point	of	view,	by	identifying	all	samples	•	in which immigrants communicateTo	generate	a	taxonomy	of	identified	translation	strategies,	like	self-translation,	liaison	interpre-•	ting, voice-over, subtitling, and no-translationTo draw conclusions on the use of the various strategies employed, which may bring up additio-•	nal	considerations	on	the	way	in	which	plurilingualism	is	handled	in	Spanish	polyglot	filmsLinguistic Diversity in Spanish Immigration Films.
