Summary/Abstract: Based on J. Jarniewicz’s concept of two types of translator’s attitude: legislator and ambassador, the article concentrates on the reasons behind the oldest Polish translations of Slovak literature: a folk song, part of J. Rostworowski’s novel „Zamek na Czorsztynie”, a novel by J. Kalinčiak „Reštavracia” translated by P. Stalmach and a drama „Matka” by J. Gregor Tajovsky translated by F. Gwiżdż, showing the circumstances of their appearance and the attitudes of their translators.
