RAFAJ, Ivan: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in Slovak translation. [Bachelor thesis]. Matej Bel University; Faculty of Humanities; Department of English and American Studies. Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Vladimír Biloveský, PhD. Banská Bystrica, 2013. Contents 43 pages. The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to highlight the problems of the translation of Douglas Adams‘ The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy, and to evaluate translation solutions of specific problems and passages that the author of the official Slovak translation, Patrick Frank, has chosen. The core of the thesis is divided into three main chapters, which are further divided into subsections. The first chapter contains basic information about the author, his work and the translator. The second chapter is a theoretical introduction to the translation and its problems, and in the subchapter some selected translation shifts can be found. The third chapter deals with specific examples of these shifts, together with my own comments and in most cases with my own solution to the problem.
