This has been done through the analysis of the book Muller no baño by Manuel Rivas, examining the different linguistic features (lexical, grammatical, and cultural) determining the quality of a good translation. Similarly, the paper focuses on the interferences and cultural problems that arise when working with two languages in contact (Galician and Spanish, in this particular case).
