Adaptations from novel to TV series to videogame imply that prominent features of the texts are inevitably prone to change. In the case of detective fiction, the deductions of Sherlock Holmes have been rendered in the TV series Sherlock (2010) with modern-looking on-screen text, which inspired similar strategies in the videogame Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments (2014) to illustrate verbal clues on screen. Creative on-screen text aimed at representing the thoughts of the detective affects the translation process because of its multilayered and semiotically complex nature. As additional linguistic elements that enrich story and dialogue, on-screen deductions characterize and narrate, as well as adding a ludic, game-like quality to the first season of the TV series. The relevance and impact of this feature is observed in different Italian translations, focusing particularly on omission and reduction of the verbal material, and the concurrence of deductions with character dialogue.
