Noun zakład (plant) appearing in the names of enterprises is not very popular among onomasticians. It may be an interesting subject of research for translators in connection with problems occurring during attempts to translate it into a foreign language. In Polish names of medical institutions, this noun is used not only in the sense of an enterprise/institution or its part, but also as an element of statutory defined names. Based on Polish law, this article details the possible meanings of the noun zakład in Polish names of medical facilities. The knowledge of individual types of facilities and their scope of competence constitutes the basic knowledge of a translator, necessary for the correct translation of the names of medical facilities. The main research objective was to determine the issues of translating into German the Polish names of medical facilities containing the noun zakład based on the available workshop aids. First, the translations proposed by dictionaries and on translator forums were critically evaluated. However, due to the fact that these aids contain only the translation of selected components of the names of medical facilities, it was necessary to obtain the translations of full names. Therefore, an attempt was made to determine whether the translators took into account the different meanings of the word zakład in the individual names, on the basis of ordered translations of selected names of medical institutions made by professional translators.

This article explores the problems which occur when teaching the translation of functional texts into a foreign language (from Polish into German). The article especially focuses on lexicalterminological and pragmatic translation mistakes, their causes, and strategies for avoiding them. One of the biggest challenges when translating into a foreign language is to use correct and adequate equivalents. The authors argue that the competences needed for this task should be taught as early as possible during translation training. The authors have therefore analysed texts translated by BA translation students and have chosen examples which represent the most frequent categories of mistakes, e.g. word-to-word translation, breaching the target language‘s conventions, and (inter)cultural problems. The solutions proposed are based on functional translation theory and translation criticism, and also take into account the classifications of mistakes used in translation didactics.

The article analyzes the results of a translation exercise used as an element of needs analysis to assess translation competences (as defined by EMT programme) of 30 M.A. translation trainees commencing an English-Polish translation course. It analyzes translation samples of selected sentences from a travelogue narrative, with specific translation problems (collocations, passive voice structures, a cleft sentence with a passive gerund) in terms of translation mistakes as defined by Hejwowski. An analysis of the samples shows that a translation exercise, if properly selected, allows to identify translation trainees’ translation competences and translation mistakes, and may be helpful in designinga translation course and as an element of action research approach applied during the course.
