This paper discusses the orthographic standard of the modern Polish language as regards capitalisation. On selected examples, we point to the fact that the general nature of orthographic rules governing capitalisation makes them ignore numerous phenomena characteristic of the economic and legal sphere. The absence of an up-to-date and diverse sample material illustrating the individual rules, in turn, hampers making prescriptive decisions with regard to the spelling of specific expressions from the domain of the latest official Polish language. As a consequence, the mismatch between codification and usage increases, which is exemplifi ed in the analytical part of the paper. The conducted research leads to the conclusion that such standardisation of the spelling of specialist varieties of Polish as satisfi es the needs of its users is an urgent matter.

The aim of this article is to present the problem of capital letters from the perspective of Spanish-Polish legal translations. The focus of the article lies on the titles of legal acts because it allows to show the mutual relations between linguistic, legal and translatory norms. At the beginning the problem of capitalization is presented from a general point of view. This is followed by a contrastive analysis of orthographic rules in Spanish and Polish, which demonstrates visible differences between those two languages. Furthermore, the influence of the extralinguistic factors and the usage created by the community of practice (Wegner 1998) on the translation of specialized texts is explained.

The aim of the article is to analyze the use of capital letters in Polish and Spanish legal texts from the translation perspective. Referring to the hypothesis that the problems of orthographic nature arise mainly due to the negative interference, we consider other factors that may influence the problem. The comparative analysis proves that translators of the legal texts (e.g. sworn translators) have to take into consideration not only linguistic but also institutional and legal factors, as well the usage created by the community of practice.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest stosowanie wielkich liter w polskich i hiszpańskich tekstach prawniczych w kontekście przekładu. Wychodząc z założenia, że błędne użycie wielkich liter w tłumaczeniu wynika przede wszystkim z transferencji negatywnej, analizujemy czynniki mogące wpływać na pisownię nazw organów, instytucji i urzędów w tekstach prawniczych. Przeprowadzona analiza porównawcza wskazuje, że problem ma bardzo złożony charakter, gdyż wymaga uwzględnienia zarówno odmiennych zasad językowych, jak i norm o charakterze prawnym i instytucjonalnym (tłumaczeniowym), które w różnych konfiguracjach determinują zapis określonej nazwy. Dodatkowym czynnikiem utrudniającym właściwe tłumaczenie jest uzus kształtowany przez wspólnotę praktyków i wyraźna tendencja do majuskulizmu w hiszpańskim dyskursie prawniczym.
