@ Allegro The fact that this isn't strictly a "legal question" doesn't preclude a legal reference in the translation of the title. Take "Double Indemnity", for example...!
Personally, I believe Daniel's suggestion "Retribution" fits perfectly here, although it would be nice to have some input from the Asker regarding what ideas she might have already discarded along with her reasons for doing so .

@ Daniel This isn't a legal question, it's simply the name of a film, albeit it does seem it is about the operation of justice in Argentina. As for the Anglo Saxons they were tribes that invaded Britain more than 1500 years ago and there is no longer an "Anglo Saxon world" but simply a group of jurisdictions in which the English Common Law system operates.

Daniel Alfonso Medina Gutiérrez Jan 20, 2021:

Remedy La definición legal anglosajona de "Remedy law" es la siguiente: "El "law of remedies" se ocupa del carácter y alcance del "alivio" (el "alivio" lo conocemos como "compensación" en sistemas de derecho positivo/continental/romano-germánico) al cual un individuo es facultado después de ejercer la acción legal correspondiente y ese individuo ha establecido que tiene un derecho sustantivo que ha sido violentado por el acusado.

En este caso, bajo el sistema anglosajón, tanto los que perpetraron el abuso estarían obligados a cumplir una condena penal, como las víctimas del abuso estarían facultadas para hacer valer un "Remedy", y el remedy tiene una legislación aparte de cualquier otro medio de resarcimiento civil ante un agravio que produce un delito. Un ejemplo paralelo sería un tercero agraviado por un fraude. El fraude se vincula penalmente, pero civilmente, un tercero agraviado tendría derecho a algún tipo de resarcimiento. De eso se ocupa el "Remedy law" anglosajón.

as we know, film/documentary title translations can be so far from the original they're unrecognizable so barring any confirmed "official" English title I would just leave it as such

David Hollywood Jan 18, 2021:

There doesn't seem to be an English title for this (yet) so I would leave it in Spanish

AllegroTrans Jan 18, 2021:

Personally I find it surprising you are being asked to translate a film title, Everything depends on the purpose of the translation. If the film is in Spanish and has not been dubbed or sub-titled into English, the I would retain its Spanish name. A translation is likely to cause confusion.

It depends on the context as to whether you translate it or leave it in Spanish. But as Carol says, the translation seems very obvious.

Carol Gullidge Jan 17, 2021:

Hi anavon, and welcome! It would be helpful if you were to explain your reasons for discarding the obvious translation here, and your other considerations with this translation.
The fact that it is a "literary" question doesn't preclude direct translations - the best solution isn't always the "cleverest" one!
What have you already considered, and why have you rejected these ideas?
The reason I ask is that knowing this could save a lot of duplication of effort on our part
