Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the non-linguistic translator’s notes in four translations of the novella Balada o trobenti in oblaku (The Ballad of the Trumpet and the Cloud) by a Slovenian writer, Ciril Kosmač. The translator’s notes are analysed with regard to their content (functions) and typology (partly also formal features). The analysis reveals a clear difference in the use of this translation technique in the selected translations, resulting also, to a certain degree, from the distance between the source and target cultures.
