From April 2nd to April 5th, 2024, works related to the implementation of the new version of the Jagiellonian University Repository system will be carried out. It will not be possible to enter new information into the repository during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The claim that the notion of equivalence is necessary as a defining characteristic of translation – previously accepted by the author – must be qualified. The aim of this comment is to show that equivalence should not be treated as an abstract correspondence between a source and a target text, and is better understood as ‘fidelity’. Accordingly, the task of the translator should be described as seeking the ‘middle ground’ – a position acceptable to both parties involved.
