abstract in English:
The article concerns the notion of translation project in the light of contemporary research on translator training, which has suggested that introducing projects into translator training has many advantages, including the sense of "reality" of the translated text that students gain in the course of such projects. The researchers have also proposed several stages of the project, including preparatory stage, actual translation and consolidation phase. The Visegrad Fund supported English for V4 Countries Heritage Presentation project, which was undertaken by Krosno State College students and their teachers in the autumn semester of the 2013-2014 academic year, consisted in translating the Krosno and Biecz museum texts roughly in compliance with the translator project research. The project ended with student evaluation, which brought generally positive comments. Future projects are planned, also in cooperation with the same museums.
