Translation from Croatian into English: Problems ad Challenges in Translating Texts of Different Genres

This thesis deals with difficulties and challenges appearing while translating different genre texts from Croatian into English. In the introductory part I am going to give a brief description of the texts that will be translated later on. Also, I am going to list a few useful tools for translating and qualities that a brilliant translator should possess. The crucial part of the thesis are translations of the source texts in Croatian into the target texts in English. Just as important are the commentary and analysis given after every translation. The analysis will be based on important points such as genre, source, audience, purpose of writing, authenticity, style, level of formality, layout, length, content, lexical cohesion, sentence patterns etc. Moreover, the issues and solutions in the translations will make an essential part of the commentary. Finally, a conclusion will give a short overview of my translating assignment and report on what I have learned as a translator from these three translations
