The first Hungarian translations of Dante’s masterpiece have been published starting from the mid-19th Century. Among these translations, the most important and successful has been the one by Mihály Babits (published between 1912 and 1922). During the 20th century, several other translations were published, but in anthologies or in an incomplete form. Within this frame and tradition, university professor and translator Ádám Nádasdy (born 1947) published, in 2016, his own Dante translation, in unrhymed iambic pentameter. This paper aims to present the Hungarian translations of <italic>Divina Commedia</italic>, focusing on the characteristics of the latest one, by Ádám Nádasdy.

The aim of this article is to analyze how French cultural allusions and wordplays in advertising slogans can be transposed into Romanian. Drawing on a series of concepts and theoretical observations concerning the field of advertising translation, we will outline the difficulties, the constraints, and the main strategies involved in this particular kind of translation. Secondly, we would like to analyze some concrete examples of advertising campaigns initiated in France and exported to Romania. Thirdly, we will examine the translation/localization of the advertising slogans into Romanian and we will discuss the solutions found by the translators to overcome the linguistic and the cultural difficulties raised by the translation process.

This paper focuses upon the translatorꞌs role as a language mediator in professional communication. During the translation process, terminological knowledge is essential since the information conveyed by a scientific and technical writing is encoded in terms which give access to more elaborate knowledge structures. Additionally, the translator faces situations in which a term is borrowed either from the general language or from a field of knowledge and utilized in another field. Therefore, the main challenges encountered by a translator are: identifying the terms, understanding the termsꞌ meaning, finding the suitable termsꞌ correspondents in the target language.

Despite the fact that, as renowned translators such as Anthony Pym (2009) or, in the Slovak cultural context, Katarína Bednárová (2015) have stated, the history of translation cannot be written without considering who those who made the interpretation and understanding of the translated works possible were, the reality is that, in general terms, translators continue to be the great unknowns. For this reason, in this article, we have set out to investigate the figures of those men and women whose work made it possible for Slovak literature to reach a particular Spanish-speaking reading public, that of Cuba, in a specific period of history, that between 1960 and 1989.

Translationes

 The annual translation and translation studies journal Translationes is published by the ISTTRAROM-TRANSLATIONES Studies Center. The journal aims at combining actual translation with the practice of translation in the university and the theory of translation problems. The involvement of several socio-professional categories that manifest themselves in the field of translation will contribute to the creation of an authentic general image (which may become global or complete in the future) of the translation phenomenon (the Romanian one, especially), no matter the source or the target languages.
