Translation from Croatian into English: Tackling the Issue of Traslating Short Texts

The main body of this B.A. thesis comprises of four translations from Croatian into English. Each of them belongs to a different genre and is preceded by a short introduction. The texts are also accompanied by analyses of the problems which arose during the translation process. The four translations in this thesis are: translation of a text on popular science, translation of a text on culture, translation of a biographical text, translation of a text from a political weekly magazine. While the main body of this thesis consists of translations and their respective commentaries, the introduction contains a definition on translation, translation procedures, approaches to translation and some important aspects of translation. In the conclusion I give a summary of my work and my opinion on the subject. The source texts can be found in appendices
