The article is devoted to the analysis of English translation of non-standard language
in Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną by Masłowska. The decisions made by
the translator were investigated in terms of Hejwowski’s techniques of translating language
varieties. The analysis of chosen expressions proves that in most cases the translator decided
to adapt the text to the target readership and rather resigned from the author-oriented
rendering. It shows that a culture-specific novel is intelligible for the target reader when the
language is lucid.
