Abstract
Translating dialectal texts is a subdivision of translating literary texts. As is the case in all literary texts it is important for the translator to remain consistent, accurate and dedicated to the translation process to produce a target text that appears as if it is not a translation at all. In this thesis we will be translating Kajkavian dialect which is one of three Croatian dialects. Theoretical background regarding Kajkavian dialect is briefly presented to give the reader insight into how the dialect operates and its fundamental rules as well as influences from other languages that helped in its creation. The complexity of this task lies in the understanding of the source text, so a dictionary is created to serve as a tool in the translation process. Along with a Kajkavian-English dictionary, another dictionary is made that tracks changes between Standard English and “crooked” English that villagers speak in the novel. These differences are made to make the distinction between education and social class between characters seem clear and almost palpable. Excerpts from the novel are translated to demonstrate how these ideas are integrated in the translated text. Specific situations and parts of the target text are subsequently analyzed in more detail to explain the translator’s way of thinking and which parts of the source text were the hardest to translate as well as the strategies used in the translation process.
