The paper describes an attempt to develop a methodology for automatic identification of semantic shifts in translation. First the original side of a parallel corpus is annotated with synset IDs from Wordnet, then we can select the target semantic domain using these IDs and the domain tags in Wordnet. In our case we focus on terms pertaining to gastronomy, which we disambiguate using the UKB toolkit.We analyse the extracted sentences and classify them according to the translation strategy employed.
