In the present article, entitled Between Wor(l)ds... OR completely lost in translation? On contemporary “translations” of the titles of film blockbusters. From “Wirujący seks” (1987) and “Minionki” (2010-2017) to “Przełęcz ocalonych” (2016), its author – being a philologist, a linguist, a translation-studies researcher, and a regular picturegoer, takes into practical consideration selected translations (mainly from English into Polish) of several dozen film blockbusters having been produced in the last 20 years. On the basis of available resources, which are relatively few regarding the matter in question, the author makes an attempt at identifying and defining a range of formal and informal criteria in accordance with which English-language film titles are typically translated (“translated”?) into Polish, and then he tries to evaluate the adequacy of such film title translations against the original ones. The considerations are primarily made from a philological perspective (mainly lexical), including the corresponding cultural issues that might have affected the translation process. The analysis also embraces the increasingly significant commercial aspect present in the contemporary cinematography, in view of which a film these days is first of all a product that needs to be sold at a huge profit to the international clientele.

In this article, its author offers the practical considerations of a philologist, a linguist, a translation-studies researcher, and an eager modern-language academic teacher, regarding a range of contemporary technological solutions/tools for enhancing the acquisition of a foreign language (English). In particular, the author refers to electronic pedagogical dictionaries – the monolingual Dictionary.com, the bilingual Wielojęzyczny słownik polskiOFFLINE, and the semibilingual Słownik angielskiegoDiki, which are presently commonly used by young language learners. Such smart-applications developed for smartphones and tablets – in the author’s view – are remarkable tools for enhancing the complex language teaching and learning process, but – on the other hand – they do require certain methodological training if they are to bring a range of didactic benefits to their users. As the author perceives this notion, such a training regarding the smart dictionary applications – the metalexicographic training – should become the integral part of the modern language teaching and learning process, which may serve as highly beneficial to both smart-users of electronic dictionaries and their smart-teachers alike.
