Translation has always been important for religion as a way of preaching God's word. The first Romanian translations of religious texts, including the first (although incomplete) translation of the Bible, date from the sixteenth century. In this early period of Romanian writing, Romanian translators encountered several problems in conveying the meaning of these texts of a great complexity. Some of the difficulties were due to the source texts available in the epoch, others to the ideal of literal translation, to the principle of legitimacy or to the relatively poor development of Romanian language which limited the translators' options. The present study focuses on the causes and purposes for which lexical items of Hungarian origin interweave old Romanian translations. In this epoch, Hungarian influence was favoured by a complex of political, legal, administrative and socioculturel factors, sometimes even forced by these circumstances. On the one hand, given the premises of vivid contacts between Romanians and Hungarians in the regions where the old Romanian translations (or their originals) can be located, a number of Hungarian loanwords of folk origin penetrated these texts. On the other hand, when using Hungarian sources, translators have imported useful source language caiques and loanwords, which have enriched Romanian language.

The research focuses on analysing the function of slang in modern cartoons (Madagascar 2, Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, Open Season, Cars) as well as translation strategies used to convey accurate meaning. Our data from film scripts (163 examples containing slang terms) has proved that slang, as an important part of cartoons’ verbal component, should be and mainly retained in translation. Excerpts from original cartoons scripts show slang use, that may function both for the protagonists’ characterisation and for the mapping of humor (carnivalesque) world picture. Componential analysis of meaning – breaking down the sense of slang terms into their minimal distinctive features – was used to determine the meaning of lexemes and reconstruct semantic domains actively verbalised by slang. The assumption has been made that due to the universality of domains slang can be potentially translated in most cases. Componential analysis is particularly applicable to semantically related lexemes (in one language or comparable ones). A thorough analysis of slang translation showed the employment of the following strategies: stylistic compensation (50.3%), literal translation (44.7%), omission (4.9%) and cultural equivalence (0.1%). As seen, a substantial proportion of the slang words can be translated from English into Ukrainian without significant loss of meaning. The neutralisation of slang appears to be inevitable in some cases.

Ivan Kotlyarevsky’s Eneyida is a poem rich in paremic elements. The poem was considered a breakthrough in Ukrainian literature, not only because it was written in lively Ukrainian language, but, thanks to the author’s fascination with the folk culture and artistic traditions of previous eras, it also constituted a link between old and new Ukrainian literature. The aim of this article is to investigate the types of translation strategies used by Piotr Kupryś in the translation of Eneyida, especially those concerning paremic elements that are heavily influenced by cultural connotations. The analysis shows that Kotlarewski introduced existing proverbs, and also introduced new ones by processing others. In the Polish translation, Kupryś was not only obliged to preserve the content of the proverbs, but also to reproduce the plasticity of the images on which they were built. The techniques most widely used in his translation include domestication, exotication and tracing. It seems that the translator did manage to extract the meaning of the proverbs; he did not, however, always preserve their expressive and stylistic value, which was the basic element of building the satirical effect of the poem.

Rosa Alimpieva, professor of Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in Kaliningrad, is known in Poland as a linguist, specialist in history of the Russian language and TS, but also as a great popularize of a Polish poetry and culture in Russia, especially in Kaliningrad Oblast. She translated into Polish from Russian selectes masterpieces of Polish poetry: poems of Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki, Adam Asnyk, Leopold Staff, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński, Czesław Miłosz, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz. She decided also to translate into Russian some poems of her Polish friends Walenty Piłat and Krzysztof Dariusz Szatrawski. The translation has been acknow- ledged by Polish writers as very accurate and , but we think that the world of Polish poets (especially Mickiewicz) in Alimpieva’s translation is especially close to perception competence of the Russian reader.

The goal of this article is primarily to present the translation strategies adopted by Krzysztof Pussman in the course of working on Historyja barzo cudna o stworzeniu nieba i ziemie. The 16th-century apocrypha has slipped into oblivion – it was last discussed by Stanisław Dobrzycki in 1911. Research suggests that the translator-cum-compiler in fact followed the trends developed in his times. A compilation of the results of analyses and elaborations on the language and the way of translating other Old Polish apocrypha confirms this statement. The deliberations presented in this article, ordered by theme (the author divided the material into issues related to syntax, vocabulary, inflexion, rhetoric and style) provide an outline of broad research perspectives related to Historyja barzo cudna… as an independent historic work and in a comparative perspective (with other apocrypha texts of the time and old Polish canonical texts).

This paper discusses problems involved in the translation of literary works that apply linguistic varieties, especially geographical dialects. It surveys selected approaches to the functions of dialects in literature and to the strategies of dealing with linguistic variation in translation, arguing that the understanding of the issue may be deepened and systematized by applying notions drawn from relevance theory. The use of dialect in literary texts is interpreted as a communicative clue and the translators’ approach to its rendering is described with reference to the cognitive environment of the recipients and the balance of processing effort and communicative gain. Examples are drawn from the Polish translations of The Secret Garden by F.H. Burnett, the oldest coming from 1917 and the newest from 2012, which highlight the translators’ changing assumptions on the recipients’ cognitive environment reflected in the choice of the strategy of dialect rendition.

The frame of reference for this article on Kafka’s translations into various European languages is the author’s conception of translation studies as a three-stage (‘three-storey’) structure: translation technique (‘ground floor’); translation strategy (‘bel étage’ or ‘main floor’); and translation business, i. e. translation as an organized institution (‘top floor’). The ‘ground floor’ deals with the purely linguistic particularities of Kafka’s texts and the difficulties they present to translators of different target languages. The ‘bel étage’ or ‘main floor’ deals with the genuinely translational decisions made within the framework of what is linguistically possible in order to make the typical ‘kafkaesque’ kind of writing recognizable in other languages. Finally, the ‘top floor’ shows how translations into various languages have helped to make Kafka one of the world’s great writers.

Karl Dedecius’ Translations of Tadeusz Różewicz’s Poetry Into German Karl Dedecius is one of the most important figures representing Polish literature and culture in Germany. His activity went beyond the conventional framework of a translator’s competence. Karl Dedecius and Tadeusz Różewicz were eternally bound by many years of friendship, which had a beneficial influence on publishing „Formen der Unruhe”. The author of this article attempts to describe the translation of Tadeusz Różewicz’s poem „W środku życia” into German. Różewicz’s writing requires exceptional sensitivity due to its multidimensionality and innovation. Dedecius’ individual translation theory is the basis of many analyses. The paper aims at demonstrating a translator’s individual decisions interpreted from the point of view of Roman Lewicki’s translation model.

Translation Problem in The Reality of Translation Teaching Translation problem plays a fundamental role in translation activities on all levels. It triggers a chain of translation activities of which the translator may be aware or unaware. The course of these actions and the procedures adopted by the translator are dependent on type of translation, on components of translation setting which exists in a particular, real translation situation, on characteristics of the translation problem, on the level of problem analysis, as well as on the cognitive predispositions of the translator. Acknowledging the fundamental role of the translation problem in the translation process and accepting the assumption that the quality of the translation is directly dependent on the steps taken by the translator with the aim of solving and properly identifying translation problems , one has to consider translation problem as a category relevant to translation teaching. From the point of view of translation teaching, it is important to determine translator’s qualities, abilities, skills, and knowledge areas that have influence on the quality of actions taken with the aim of solving translation problems effectively. The same applies to attitudes of future translators. Moreover, it is the task of translation teaching researchers to develop methods which will help future translators achieve the expected level of translation competence. This paper presents a concept which could provide a starting point for designing translation teaching curricula.

The article is devoted to one of the controversial terms of modern translation studies, namely translation strategy. The typologies of translation strategies differ in terms of principles of their identification and justification. The article analyses the Cyberleninka electronic library and 325 scientific articles containing the combination strategy + translation. The results of the analysis showed that in scientific articles the concept of a translation strategy is often used in the abstract/keywords, but at the same time, it is not defined in any way within the article proper. In this case, it is possible to assume that the use of the concept of translation strategy is driven by considerations of self-presentation of the author of a scientific article.

Статья посвящена одному из дискуссионных терминов современного переводоведения – cтратегии перевода. Типологии стратегий перевода отличаются принципами их выделения и обоснования. В статье анализируется 325 научных статей электронной библиотеки Cyberleninka, содержащих сочетание стратегия + перевод. Результаты анализа показали, что в научных статьях понятие стратегии перевода часто используется в аннотации/ключевых словах научной статьи, но в то же время никак не определяется в самом тексте статьи. В таком случае возможно предположить, что использование понятие стратегии перевода продиктовано соображениями самопрезентации автора научной статьи.

The paper touches upon the issue of the translation into Polish of the animated film Masha and the Bear. As an audiovisual entity, the animations are characterised by polysemiotics. Therefore, four channels of information transfer were analysed: the verbal-acoustic channel, the verbal-visual channel, the acoustic-non-verbal channel and the visual-non-verbal channel. As a result of the study, it was shown that the animated film Masha and the Bear — as regards the visual-non-verbal and acoustic-non-verbal channels, can be characterised as highly reflecting the Russian culture. What was also observed was the transformation of the verbal-visual channel which — in translation — changes into the verbal-acoustic channel. This transformation resulted in the information excess noticed in translation. The verbal-acoustic channel is characterised, on the one hand, by the neutralisation of intertextual and Soviet elements and, on the other hand, by a low level of the naturalisation of the Polish translation.

Artykuł poświęcony jest tłumaczeniu filmu animowanego Masza i Niedźwiedź na język polski. Animacja, jako twór audiowizualny, charakteryzuje się polisemiotycznością. W związku z tym zostały zbadane cztery kanały przekazu informacji: werbalno-akustyczny, werbalno-wizualny, akustyczno-niewerbalny i wizualno-niewerbalny. Przeprowadzone badanie wykazało, że animacja Masza i Niedźwiedź na płaszczyźnie wizulano-niewerbalnej oraz akustyczno-niewerbalnej w wysokim stopniu cechuje się przynależnością do rosyjskiej kultury. Zaobserwowano transformację kanału werbalno-wizualnego, który w przekładzie zmienia się w kanał werbalno-akustyczny. To przekształcenie skutkowało nadmiarem informacji w tłumaczeniu. Kanał werbalno-akustyczny charakteryzuje się, z jednej strony, neutralizacją elementów intertekstualnych i radzieckich, z drugiej — małym stopniem naturalizacji przekładu, czyli spolszczenia.

Sir Terry Pratchett’s “Unseen Academicals” shows the soccer world, but also the University, both of which are important. The title of the French translation, Allez les mages, is the first example of the naturalization strategy which focuses on football, but erases any hint of the British culture and, consequently, the reader of this translation is unable to see any allusion to the Oxford‑Cambridge old rivalry. Moreover, this strategy destroys the tension between the language of the “gentlemen” of the University and ordinary people, humble servants in the University but big ones in the football world. The rendering of the “cockney” by the Parisian argot is, in fact, Berman’s deforming tendency called vulgarization. In conclusion, the author of this paper believes that the French translator of Pratchett’s book, although very clever ar rendering of puns, took the wrong strategic decision, which his Polish colleague did not.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest opis kompetencji interkulturowej jako kompetencji bazowej w dydaktyce przekładu na poziomie uniwersyteckim. Kompetencja interkulturowa składa się na ogólną kompetencję tłumaczeniową. Jest definiowana jako zespół wiedzy, umiejętności i nawyków w komunikacji w zakresie przynajmniej dwóch kultur, świadomie wykorzystywanych przez tłumacza w różnych środowiskach pracy. Kompetencja interkulturowa poprzez taką propozycję nominacyjną podkreśla relacyjny charakter kultur uczestniczących w komunikacji za pośrednictwem przekładu (kultury oryginału, kultury przekładu oraz często kultury trzeciej). W artykule podjęta została próba opisu sposobów nabywania takiej kompetencji poprzez analizę konkretnych przypadków problemów przekładowych w procesie tłumaczenia w warunkach dydaktyki akademickiej.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a description of intercultural competence as basic competence in translation teaching at a university level. Intercultural competence is part of general translation competence. It is defined as a combination of knowledge, skills and habits in communication with regard to at least two cultures, consciously used by the translator in different work environments. Intercultural competence through such a definition proposal emphasizes a relational character of cultures participating in communication via translation (the culture of the original, the culture of the translation and frequently the third culture). The paper aims to describe ways of acquiring this competence through the analysis of concrete examples of translation problems in the course of translation in translation teaching.

The paper brings an analysis of the new Polish translation of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Grzegorz Wasowski, published as Perypetie Alicji na Czarytorium. By defining the translation strategy followed by the translator and pointing to possible reasons for this choice and its consequences, the author enters into discussion with the translator. Wasowski claims that „it is not possible to do it better than the previous translators – but it is possible to do it differently”. This leads to the eternal question about limits of translation and to the conclusion that at the time when reading the text is considered as its interpretation (and hence a translation is a translation of an interpretation, and the reception of the translation is an interpretation of the interpretation) each new interpretation becomes a significant element of the translation series.

Autorka analizuje nowy polski przekład przygód Alicji, pióra Grzegorza Wasowskiego, wydany po tytułem Perypetie Alicji na Czarytorium. Określając przyjętą przez tłumacza strategię translatorską, zwraca uwagę na jej możliwe przyczyny i skutki oraz podejmuje dyskusję z autorem przekładu. Propozycja tłumacza – „lepiej [niż poprzednicy] się nie da, ale może inaczej?” – prowadzi autorkę do ponownego postawienia odwiecznego pytania o granice przekładu, jak również do wniosku, że w czasach odczytania tekstu jako jego interpretacji (ergo przekładu jako przekładu interpretacji i odbioru przekładu jako interpretacji interpretacji), każda kolejna interpretacja jest wartym uwagi ogniwem serii przekładowej.

Badanie analizuje leksemy i kombinacje słów w stylu potocznym, slangu i języku potocznym, przeprowadza ich analizę porównawczą na poziomie słów, analizuje wzorce transformacyjne, które ulegają zmianom podczas tłumaczenia literackiego na język angielski i rosyjski oraz omawia zalety i wady stosowanych strategii tłumaczeniowych, sugerując odpowiednie rozwiązania tłumaczeniowe. W artykule argumentuje się, iż strategie tłumaczenia leksykonu poniżej normy odzwierciedlają interdyscyplinarny charakter ekspresyjnego znaczenia i konotacji, które mogą być przekazywane w różny sposób na różnych poziomach językowych podczas tłumaczenia literackiego.

The study analyzes lexemes and word combinations of colloquial style, slang and low colloquial language, performs their comparative analysis at word level, looks into the transformational patterns that the structures undergo during literary translation into English and Russian, and discusses the advantages and flaws of the applied translation strategies through suggesting adequate translation solutions. In the article, the argument is made that the translation strategies of substandard lexis reflect the interdisciplinary nature of expressive meaning and connotation which can be conveyed differently through various language levels during literary translation.

The paper discusses employing a highly intertextualized text in translator training. Using an example of a humorous story in Russian, the author describes the advantages of the classroom use of such a text. They encompass: facilitating an understanding of the scope of the phenomenon and thus learning to successfully render diverse intertextual signals in varied circumstances, as well as the possibility to formulate and apply a holistic strategy with respect to intertexts. The benefit of enhancing the students’ background knowledge is also emphasized in the context of current curricula.
