Abstract

Translating culture-specific items is a difficult task for translators, because they usually do not have equivalent terms in the target language. In the recent literature of translation studies, there are many categorizations of these items with descriptions of the procedures to translate them. However, there is a lack of description of these procedures from Slovak literary translations of the 19 th century. A significant Slovak translator of this period is Bohuslav Tablic (1769–1832). Most of the existing literature on his work concentrates on his writing rather than his translations.
