Summary/Abstract: Using examples of entertaining signs, directions, publicity materials and hotel notices, the paper focuses on minor varieties of English that seem to have been neglected in translatrion theory and practice. We discuss three major types of translation problems: pragmatic translation problems, intercultural translation problems and interlingual translation problems.
