For the purpose of obtaining a B. A. degree at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka, I have decided to translate four texts from Croatian into English language. The texts that I have chosen differ from each other in topic, intended audience and style of writing. The reason for this is my wish to tackle different problematic situations, especially the ones that are specific for a certain text type. A short introduction is provided before the translation itself to give the reader an insight into the type of text, the main topic of the text and the reasons why I decided to include a particular text. After a short introduction, the reader is presented with the translation and its analysis. In the commentary and analysis section some interesting particularities from the text are mentioned as well as some difficulties along with their examples and elaborations that were encountered during the translation process. Each text contains different obstacles emerging primarily from the type of classification they belong to. The types of texts chosen for translation are: an article on astronomy, an article on tourism, a medical scientific paper and a chapter from a novel. Before the main body of this thesis, which consists of the translations themselves, there is an introduction to the overall topic of translation. It represents a certain theoretical base on which the translations were made, i.e. it summarizes some thoughts on the theories of translation and strategies that were used in the translations. At the end of the thesis, a brief conclusion is given and it includes some personal reflections on the process of translation and the overall experience itself. The source texts are included in the appendix, while their sources are listed in the bibliography among the specialized books, articles and dictionaries consulted for this thesis.
