Translation/interpretation processes go beyond the level of individual lexical (word) units. The concept of translatability/interpretability may be applied also to the more sophisticated text elements, defined in this paper as schemes of perceiving reality, available and expected by the originator and the addressee of a message. They may be effectively interpreted in terms of communication games. The paper contains a case study of an (un)translatability of a Polish example text into a non-Polish (Japanese) reality, with reference to communication games.
