Özet:

In spite of the relevance of tourism for the Spanish economy, until recently, little attention has been paid to the translation of tourist texts in this country. This fact causes unpleasant situations in real life, as is the case in the city of Seville, where the translation of the new tourist signs has been criticized in different media, particularly in Social Media. In view of this situation, this paper shows an analysis of the translations of these tourist signs and proposes more adequate solutions from a translation perspective. The conclusions reached show that translations are usually inconsistent in the use of techniques and include all sorts of mistakes. As a result, these signs do not meet their objective: helping the foreign tourist as a guiding and orienting tool. Likewise, the lack of professionalization and the invisibility of the professional translation practice in the tourist field are remarked.
