In the paper, the authors present and analyse examples of mistranslated film titles into the Polish language, selected from a database of over 1,100 titles and presented on the sample of the film genre comedy with all its subgenres. The authors discuss various film title translation strategies and procedures with reference to the literature on the subject. In the conclusions, the authors attempt to explain the reasons for the selection of certain translation procedures, with special focus on the free formulation of titles as the least transparent.

Due to the fact that the Polish translation of the Harry Potter series by Andrzej Polkowski is one of the most popular and influential in the latest years it seems to be very interesting to find out what qualities make a translation as popular as the original text. Obviously, it can be assumed that there must be a wide range of conditions to be met. However, this paper focuses only on one aspect, namely proper names, which can be found in the books as the plot is set in a non-real world containing a significant number of nouns that were invented for the purpose of the scenery and action. Thus, they pose a real challenge for translators. What is more, the article aims at answering the question of tendencies in the use of translation procedures.

The article outlines the problem of difficulties resulting from cultural differences encountered by the Dutch translators of two Polish novels: Ferdudyrke and Początek. Culture is present in such texts produced in a certain literary system and socio-cultural context on nearly every level and it often poses serious translation problems. The author focuses on the choices made by Gerard Rasch and Willem A. Maijer, Herman van der Klei and Chris de Ruig in order to draw conclusions concerning the consequences these decisions have and to state whether the couleur locale of the novels has been preserved. The topic in question is thoroughly analysed from the perspective of the target text reader.

“Sounds that Create the Image.” On Polish and Russian Translations of Alliteration in Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov

The article explores procedures used for the rendition of alliteration in the novel Pnin written by Vladimir Nabokov (1957). Two target texts will be compared. The first one is the Polish translation prepared by Anna Kołyszko (1987), the second one is the Russian version done by Sergey Ilyin (1993). The analysis of the texts will draw on research into three major thematic areas: proper names, appearance and feelings/emotions where an accumulation of alliteration is distinctly noticeable. These fields are linked by the focal character, a Russian émigré who comes to America after the Russian Revolution. His oddness and eccentricity are constantly emphasized by the unreliable narrator, whose speech abounds in alliterations. In the original this device not only reinforces the narrator’s orality but also structures the image of the focal character. In the target texts alliteration is subject to various formal modifications. In many cases it is substituted by onomatopoeias, consonances, descriptive equivalents or it is simply abandoned. As a result, the translators do not always preserve the alliterative effect (especially when it comes to proper names, feelings and emotions). Translation procedures applied by the translators allow them to achieve partial equivalence on the semantic level. Inaccuracies in this field are visible in examples referring to Pnin’s feelings and emotions in which alliterative word strings are omitted and semantically distant counterparts are used.

The present paper deals with culture-specific items as a translational problem. It is based on two Polish translations of four Swedish books from the famous detective series by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. The aim of the study is to analyze some of the practices employed by two Polish translators against the translation methods proposed by Newmark (1988), Svane (2002) and Ingo (2009). For this purpose a number of highly specific cultural items have been collected and the methods applied by translators have been identified. The analysis has shown a big difference between translators in dealing with culture-specific items. The first translator, Maria Olszańska, adopts such translation methods as calque translation, hyperonym, functional equivalent, paraphrase and omission. The other translator, Halina Thylwe,  prefers transference and calque translation combined with additional explanations, either in the main part of the text or in footnotes. The methods employed by both translators are a result of choosing between global translation strategies domestication and foreignization (Venuti 1995). Domestication, adopted in the older translations, minimizes the strangeness of the Swedish text to the Polish readers, whereas foreignization in the newer translations retains the foreignness of the original.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza i porównanie rozwiązań translatorskich zastosowanych w przekładzie aliteracji. Materiał badawczy został zaczerpnięty z utworu Pnin (1957) Vladimira Nabokova, jego polskojęzycznej wersji przetłumaczonej przez Annę Kołyszko (1987) roku oraz rosyjskojęzycznego wariantu przygotowanego przez Siergieja Iljina (1993). Nagromadzenie aliteracji jest widoczne w trzech grupach tematycznych. Pierwszą stanowią nazwy własne, następnie wygląd zewnętrzny, uczucia oraz emocje. Wymienione grupy tematyczne odnoszą się do postaci głównego bohatera Timofieja Pnina – rosyjskiego emigranta mieszkającego w Ameryce. Oprócz niego niezwykle ważną postacią w utworze jest „nierzetelny” narrator, który w swych opisach „kreuje” ekscentryczny i nieco dziwaczny obraz głównego bohatera. W oryginale to właśnie dzięki aliteracjom zarówno jego wypowiedzi, jak również sam Pnin nabierają charakterystycznego „humorystycznego” zabarwienia. W przekładach nie zawsze ten efekt zostaje osiągnięty bowiem aliteracje ulegają formalnym modyfikacjom i są zastąpione przez onomatopeje, konsonse, ekwiwalenty opisowe (szczególnie dotyczy to wyglądu zewnętrznego) bądź zostają całkowicie utracone (w grupie obejmującej imiona własne oraz uczucia i emocje). Zastosowane zabiegi translatorskie doprowadziły do zmiany lub utraty oryginalnej, fonetycznej wartości. Umożliwiły również osiągnięcie częściowej ekwiwalencji na poziomie semantycznym. Istotne rozbieżności na tej płaszczyźnie są widoczne w przykładach opisujących emocje Pnina, w których tłumacze nie tylko nie oddali aliteracji, ale również wykorzystali odległe semantycznie odpowiedniki.
