Abstract
In the present study we put forward a translation
method that would help ensure the proper rendering of Polish
political terminology into English (or any other language since
the tenets of this method are universal and can be applied to any
pair of languages). The translation procedure is based on findings
of Barbara Z. Kielar. We also present the classification of
equivalents that are obtained after applying the method. This is
followed by considerations on the possibility of attaining particular
types of terminological equivalence and an appeal that the
presented method be applied universally in order to improve the
quality of political translations produced in Poland.
A sample Polish-English glossary of political terms compiled on
the basis of the advocated method is enclosed as the “Appendix”.
