Sažetak
Should one, along with the language, also translate the specifics of its culture into the supposed equivalents of the target culture? Or should the reader, ignorant of the source language, be given the opportunity to taste at least its culture? Should the target language imitate the grammatical and idiomatic specifics of the source language? Or should the translation be smooth, with all linguistic strangeness domesticated? Trying to contribute to one of the most troubled topics in translation studies, the paper introduces the term cislation, in order to clearly distinguish its strategies and purpose from common translation. The latter literally means carrying to the other side, implying a process by which the source text is taken thither, to the target reader. Based on the opposite meanings of the Latin prefixes, cislation would rather denote taking the target reader hither, (in)to the source text. Examples are used in the paper to discourage ready-made solutions to the problem.
