The article traces the history of the Polish premiere and an early reception of J.M. Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World. The author draws attention to similarities between Irish and Polish political and historical situations in which the plays premiered, respectively, in 1907 and in 1913. Firstly, Keane concentrates on analyzing the translator’s strategy in rendering the difficult Hyberno-English dialect present in Synge’s play. The translator, Florian Sobieniowski, chose to render the specific diction of the play using the poetic language of the Young Poland movement. He also modelled his translation on the language and partly the imagery of Stanislaw Wyspianski’s acclaimed play The Wedding (Wesele, 1901). Keane discusses some of the translator’s choices and provides the summary of the critical response to what he terms the acculturation policy of the translator. Analyzing fragments of most characteristic reviews of the Polish premiere of Synge’s play, Keane discusses the presence of cultural stereotyping and the reactions to acculturation in the Polish theatre and culture.

This paper presents the results of a minor experiment which illustrates how practical translation students deal with a text which is not very well written and so producing an acceptable target text may require some amount of creativity. The text in question is a film review providing a summary of the film. Even though the text looks relatively easy, it features numerous linguistic traps, and also there is an absence of linking phrases, which in written English are vital for good flow and style. We are interested in finding out to what extent students are capable of sacrificing literalism in translation in order to produce a text that has a “natural flow” and we look to draw conclusions regarding the implications for translator training.
