Thread: Title character

Hi... how would you translate this?

Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy and as the title character in the Indiana Jones film series

Retrieved from wikipedia...

My try:

Han Solo en la triología original de Star Wars y como el personaje de Indiana Jones en las películas de igual nombre/ de nombre homónimo?...

You are on the correct path, here is how I would say it:

"Han Solo en la trilogía original de Star Wars como el título y carácter en la serie de películas de Indiana Jones"

Hope this helps, keep up the good work. You are doing great.

"Han Solo en la trilogía original de Star Wars y personaje principal de la serie Indiana Jones"

This is correct however you used a term more like Main character or Primary character, which I agree with however juanpablosans made bold 'title character' which I thought meant that needed to stay, that is why I translated it 'título y carácter'. Personaje principal carácter is a great translation though, it gets the message across that he is the star of the movies, as long as juanpablosans isn't to set on the phrase 'Title Character'.

'Title character' es 'personaje principal', y no se le debe agregar la palabra 'carácter'.
La propuesta de fome es buena.

Carácter means "temper / personality" or in some context "content" ("de carácter informativo"). It has nothing to do with a character in a movie or play. Character in a play is translated as "personaje". So I agree with Hugocar and fome.

Thanks!
