English-Polish Dictionary of Collocational Phrases
[Index]
This online dictionary of English and Polish collocational phrases can be a resource for English-Polish translators and for Polish-English translators. The art of translation requires a deep knowledge of the way English phrases translate into Polish phrases and how Polish phrases translate into English phrases. Surprisingly, there are many examples which show that word-for-word translation can be the best, and other examples that show that only a slight change is needed for an almost literal translation to be the best.
This dictionary of Polish phrases can also be a useful resource for people who are learning Polish as a foreign language. But since the focus of this dictionary is scientific, we decided not to include it in our Polish learning section.
