Abstract	Every translation is a new challenge because there is not one universal way in which a translator can or must work. It is true that there are some translation strategies that can be helpful, but every text that needs to be translated requires the translator to have an individual approach. In addition to understanding the source language and target language, translator has to be very creative in overcoming many obstacles in the process of translation. This is especially the case for subtitling, because there are many additional constraints that have to be respected. Therefore, translators have to put in extra work while making subtitles; they have to be familiar with subtitling strategies, but also, to know when each of the strategies is most useful and appropriate. In this paper, the main subtitling strategies will be shown on Netflix Croatian translations. Since Netflix is a global streaming service of a wide variety of movies and series, it now offers subtitles in many different languages. Croatian users are one of the lucky ones because there are more than a thousand movies and series on Netflix that have been translated into Croatian. However, in addition to subtitling constraints that already exist, Netflix also has some own rules when it comes to making subtitles, and rules vary depending on the language in question. These restrictions, obstacles, and strategies will be mentioned and analysed through the examples; more precisely through the Croatian translation of Netflix drama series (Dead to Me, Virgin River, The Crown).
Abstract (croatian)	Svaki je prijevod novi izazov jer ne postoji univerzalan način na koji prevoditelj može ili mora raditi. Istina je da postoje određene prijevodne strategije koje mogu biti korisne, ali prevoditelj svakom prijevodnom zadatku mora pristupiti individualno. Osim razumijevanja izvornog i ciljnog jezika, prevoditelj mora biti vrlo kreativan u prevladavanju mnogih prepreka na koje nailazi u procesu prevođenja. Osobito se to odnosi na titlovanje, budući da postoje razna dodatna ograničenja koja se moraju poštivati. Stoga prevoditelji moraju uložiti dodatni napor pri izradi titlova; moraju biti upoznati s prijevodnim strategijama, ali i znati kada je svaka od strategija korisna i prikladna. U ovom se radu na primjeru hrvatskih prijevoda s Netflixa prikazuju strategije za titlovanje. Budući da je Netflix globalna kompanija za prikazivanje širokog spektra filmova i serija, sada se nude i titlovi na mnogo različitih jezika. Hrvati su jedni od sretnika jer na Netflixu postoji više od tisuću filmova i serija koji su prevedeni na hrvatski jezik. No, osim ograničenja koja već postoje u titlovanju, Netflix ima i neka vlastita pravila o stvaranju titlova, a pravila se razlikuju ovisno o jeziku na koji se prevodi. Ta će se ograničenja, prepreke i strategije spomenuti i analizirati kroz primjere; konkretnije kroz hrvatske titlove Netflixovih dramskih serija (Ubojite prijateljice, Virgin River, Kruna).
