Abstract

Foreign language inclusions play an important role in creating special atmosphere, national spirit. This paper is devoted to the problem of foreign language inclusions in translation. The author explores a wide range of ideas on translating of foreign inclusions, enumerates the types of foreign language inclusions and describes the major reasons of using foreign inclusions. Much attention is given to different definitions of the term of foreign inclusion. The paper deals with different ways of translating when the original authentic information should reach the recipient, because one of the main goal of the translator is to find an adequate equivalent in order to preserve the meaning of the original of the text. Comparative analysis of the translation of the English essays of Euell Gibbons, Joan Didion, Langston Hughes, Richard Howe, Jow Goodwin Parker, May Sarton and Alan Paton gives the opportunity to figure out how to overcome the typical difficulties associated with selection of appropriate translation strategy for a particular situation. The purpose of the paper is to provide the reader with information that the process of translation is a form of cross-cultural communication.
