Translation from Russian.

The main language problem when translating from Russian into Polish is the inability to achieve economical language means, since the Russian language is oversaturated with frequent abbreviations and polysemantic words. At the same time, many long Russian sayings are translated into one or two words in Polish dictionaries.
When translating text from Russian, the translator needs to use words not only from the active vocabulary, but also use language constructs from the so-called passive vocabulary.
As with any other language, when translating Russian text, remember that your task is to convey the meaning, and not to translate the text word for word. It is important to find in the target language - Polish- semantic equivalents, rather than selecting words from the dictionary.

Traveling is always exciting, because it’s so nice to visit new places and get new experiences. But sometimes the problem of knowing the language, or rather, not knowing it, arises. Moreover, when going to Poland, I would like to communicate specifically in Polish to experience the local flavor. That is why every tourist will need a small Russian-Polish phrasebook.

So, you have finally arrived on a trip to Poland. Let's start our Russian-Polish phrasebook with greetings, which is an indispensable part of any conversation. Of course, the actual pronunciation of some words is quite difficult to describe, but even with minor errors in pronunciation, they will definitely understand and help you. Let's not forget that The stress in all words is on the penultimate syllable.

Translation from Ukrainian.

In modern Ukrainian literary language 38 phonemes, 6 vowels and 32 consonants. When translating from Ukrainian into Polish, it is necessary to take into account that the vocabulary mainly contains words of common Slavic origin. However, there are also many words that were formed in the Ukrainian language during the period of its independent historical development; there are borrowings from other languages, not necessarily from Polish.
Ukrainian language is one of the most beautiful languages ​​in the world. Among all languages, the Ukrainian language ranks second after Italian in terms of melody.
As with any other language, when translating Ukrainian text, remember that your task is to convey the meaning, not to translate the text word for word. It is important to find in the target language - Polish- semantic equivalents, rather than selecting words from the dictionary.

Language of Poland

The official language in Poland is Polish. In some parts of Russia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, Polish is also used as a second language. This phenomenon is caused by border changes, migrations and relocations. The total number of Polish speakers around the world is about 50 million.

Polish belongs to the West Slavic group of Indo-European languages, along with Czech and Slovak. The Polish language has developed so much that texts written in the Middle Ages are not understandable to Poles and require a dictionary to read them. Like other Indo-European languages, Polish has Latin grammar and vocabulary.

Poland has a number of dialects that differ from standard Polish, but the differences between them are not significant and mostly relate to regional pronunciations and word variations. The most distinct dialects are Silesia and Podhale (highlander dialect).

The Polish alphabet is based on the Latin one, using numerous di-, tri- and tetragraphs. Part state language Poland includes 32 letters.

Many words have been borrowed from German, French and English, and there are many words that may be spelled and pronounced the same but have a completely different meaning.

Then, in the panel control panel, select "Keyboard".
In the window that appears, select the "Language" tab. You must have 2 languages ​​installed: Russian and English. If Russian is selected as the primary language, then select the “English” language, click on the “Set as primary” button, “OK”, and then restart the computer.

In the Keyboard window, on the Language tab, click the Add button.
In the "Add a language" window that appears, select Language "Polish".
Click "OK" and the "Keyboard" window will remain. Select the language "English", click "Delete".
The program will ask you to insert the distribution disk.

Usually a reboot is required after this.
After rebooting, select Start | Setting | Control Panel.
In the Control Panel, select "Keyboard".
In the window that appears, select the "Language" tab.
Highlight Language "Polish" and click the "Properties" button.
In the "Language Properties" window that appears, select the "Polish (programming)" layout.
Click OK.
The program will ask you to insert the distribution disk.

Windows NT with Service Packs installed already has support for Eastern European languages.
All you have to do is add the “Polish (programmer)” keyboard layout, and then delete the “English” layout that has become unnecessary.

Windows ME (Millennium)


In the window that appears, select "Add or Remove Programs"
In the window that appears, select the "Windows Installation" tab. Click on the Multilingual Support component. Click the "Composition" button and in the "Multilingual Support" window that appears, check the "Languages ​​of Central Europe" box.
Click "OK", "OK".
The program will ask you to insert the distribution disk.

In the Control Panel window, select Keyboard.
In the Keyboard window, select the Language tab. You must have 2 languages ​​installed: Russian and English. If Russian is selected as the main language, then select the “English” language, click on the “Set as default” button, and then “Apply”.
Click on the "Add" button, in the "Add a language" window, select Language "Polish".
Click OK. In the remaining "Keyboard" window, select the "English" language, click "Delete".
Highlight the language "Polish" and click the "Set as default" button, and then "OK".
The program will ask you to insert the distribution disk. Then a message will appear stating that changing the language is not possible - ignore it.
Restart your computer.

Open the "Keyboards" window from the "Control Panel", click on the "Language" tab, select the "Polish" language, click the "Properties" button and in the "Language Properties" window that appears, select the "Polish Programmer" layout, click "OK" OK".

Restart your computer.

Then, in Control Panel, select Keyboard.
In the window that appears, select the "Language and Layouts" tab. You must have 2 languages ​​installed: Russian and English. Make English the default (there should be a checkmark to the left of the name): select it and click on the “Set as default” button, then click the “Apply” button.

Next, add the Polish language: click the "Add" button, in the window that appears, select Input language - "Polish", and Keyboard layout - "Polish (programmer)"; click "OK".
In the remaining "Properties: Keyboard" window, select the "English" language in the "Installed languages..." list and click "Delete".

Then click "OK".
Restart your computer.

Please note that in Windows 2000 you can use Polish characters in the Russian version in system fields (like names of files or parameters).

Possible problems

Symptom: After installing the Polish layout, it became impossible to switch to the Latin alphabet when entering file names, passwords, in the browser address window...
Reason: You have set the Polish layout incorrectly.
Remedy: Remove the Polish keyboard layout, install the English one instead, and make it the main one (used by default). Then reboot and do everything exactly as it is written in our instructions, not forgetting to reboot where we write about it.

Symptom: when trying to make the Polish layout the main one, a message is displayed stating that such a replacement is impossible.
Remedy: 1. Do everything as written in our instructions, ignoring such messages, but be sure to reboot after that.
2. See eliminating the previous cause.

Symptom: you did everything as written, and programs like Word correctly show Polish characters and allow you to enter them. But in other programs, abracadabra is displayed instead of Polish characters.
Reason: You may have changed the code tables for 1250 coloring (this is done, for example, so that PhotoShop starts writing in Russian).
Remedy: The old values ​​need to be returned.
Click "Start", select the "Run..." menu and enter "regedit" in the "Open" window. The registry editing window will appear. In it, find the branch "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Nls\CodePage". For parameter "1250" there should be "c_1250.nls" (often replaced with c_1251.nls).
Do the same for the branch "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ ControlSet002\ Control\Nls\CodePage" and for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\Nls\CodePage".
Reboot your computer.
Now PhotoShop will not write in Russian, but you will be able to enter Polish characters normally.

P.S. Why "Polish Programmer"?

There are 2 main Polish layouts: "Polish standard" (like on a typewriter), and "Polish programmer". The Polish standard layout, unlike the English one, has a changed location of the “Z” and “Y” keys, as well as “:”, “;”. Using this layout is not very convenient.

You've done everything. How to type special Polish characters?

Change the current language to Polish (using the combination Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Shift, etc., depending on your settings; or on the keyboard indicator).
In order to write "A," "C," "E," etc. press right "Alt", and the corresponding main letter on the keyboard ("Alt+A", "Alt+C", etc.)
The only letter you won't be able to write this way is "Z" with a line. It is entered by the key combination "Alt+X" ("X" is the next key after "Z").

These keyboard shortcuts work in all Windows programs.

Finally, when all your “torment” is over, we will note that in emails it is possible to dispense with the use of special Polish characters altogether. ;-)

Many lovers of foreign road trips willy-nilly pass through Poland. Some people really don’t like Poland because of the narrow roads and heavy traffic.

Someone is trying in every possible way to get around it, using the Stockholm-Rodby and Klaipeda-Sassnitz ferries.

The majority (judging by the pre-New Year queues in and Domachevo) still travel through Poland. And once they go, they communicate with local residents in hotels, cafes, gas stations or, God forbid, in services. You can, of course, like the hero of The Marriage of Figaro, who made do with the only English expression God damn it, try to act in Poland as well. But, I’m afraid, you won’t get by with “Clear Cholera” alone :) English, French and German will not always help. We will try to compile a short glossary of the necessary terms and expressions. Let's start with greetings. One has only to take into account that in Polish there is no our polite “you”. Therefore, addressing “you” is not at all familiar. There is also an official version of address in the 3rd person singular using the words “pan” or “pani”.

Good afternoon – Dzien dobry (good day)

Good evening – Dobry wieczor (good evening)

Tomorrow - Jutro (yutro)

Morning – Ranek (early) Morning – Rano (early)

Thank you – Dziekuje(zenkuje)

Please – Prosze (prosher)

Sorry – Przepraszam (psheprasham)

The Polish language has a lot of sibilant sounds. The combination “sz” is pronounced like “sh”, “cz” - like “ch”, “rz” - like “zh” or “sh”.
Now let's turn to road service facilities and other inscriptions found along the road.

Let's start with gas stations. In Polish they are called “Stacija paliw” (paliw station). There are almost no old gas stations left in Poland. Modern ones belong to both local chains “Orlen”, “Huzar”, “Bliska”,

and transnational “Statoil”, “BP”, “Shell”. Fuel on the former is slightly cheaper than on the latter.

At the price stands everything is quite simple. ON means diesel fuel, and LPG is gas.

The next most important after the gas station is the car wash. Moreover, at least 700 km to Brest usually leave very noticeable dirty marks on the body of the car. In Brest, as always, “by appointment only,” so we will wash in Poland. And a Polish car wash is much cheaper than ours. The author usually washed a dirty car for 12-18 pln. (150-220 rubles) On the outskirts of cities along the main roads, the following inscriptions are easily found:

They mean the following: at the end there is a car wash. Top – hand wash, interior cleaning, wax coating. A stationary sink might look like this. The inscription “bezdotykowa” means “contactless”.

There are a lot of self-service car washes in Poland. They are noticeably cheaper than regular ones.

Self-service car washes must have detailed instructions manual.

What else could a road traveler need? Tire fitting, of course. In Polish it looks like this. The inscriptions above the entrances to the pits mean the well-known “tires and rims” among us.

Here the sign above the tire shop is completely different. Literal translation – tire center. Nearby there is an inscription - “wheel geometry”, meaning “in our opinion” - “wheel alignment”.

Let's sum up the intermediate results. Opony or ogumienie are tires, felgi are wheels, and tire fitting can be hidden under the signs wulkanizacja or serwis opon.

In case of other breakdowns, look for the “Auto serwis” sign.

or “Mechanika pojazdowa”. On the left side of the sign it says “Oil Change”. “Oleje” means butter in Polish.

And this branded oil service from Castrol is no match for the previous private box.

I really wouldn’t want anyone to need a workshop under the sign “Auto szyby”, which means “auto glass”.

Silencers in Polish are “tlumiki”.

You should look for small auto items (I hope you won’t need anything large) in Auto czesci stores.

Don't be alarmed when you see a sign like this. It's just a car shop. In Polish, any store is called sklep (crypt).

It’s time to remember your beloved self :) First, let’s go shopping. Let's start with food. Here is a fairly inexpensive network, common in small towns. In the “trading hierarchy” it corresponds to our “Pyaterochka”. Only the prices are much lower, and the quality is much higher.

This is also a fairly simple chain store, but with a very good selection of high-quality and inexpensive products.

No one bothers you to shop in ordinary small stores. But in this store the selection (and prices) will probably be better...

than in this :)

The topic of shopping is absolutely immense. I will only say that Polish products are usually inexpensive and of high quality, although Chinese junk can also be found there. This is an inexpensive clothing store.

And here on the department store you can see the inscription: “Trading house Podvale.”

Somehow we got distracted. Our goal is to go through Poland as quickly as possible, so we don’t have much time for crypt shops. But we definitely need to eat, especially since the food in Poland is tasty and inexpensive. In order to have lunch or just a snack, it is absolutely not necessary to visit the cities. On any road (except for very “3-digit” ones), you will definitely come across Zajazd or Karczma. The literal translation of the word “zayazd” is an inn. Usually you can eat and spend the night there.

But karczma (tavern) has a purely food purpose. Most often, it is built of wood and stylized as Khlop (peasant) or Gural (mountain) architecture.

Well, we’ve eaten, now we can sleep :) Accommodations (noclegy) in Poland are inexpensive and comfortable. For 200-250 pln you can find a wonderful 3-4* hotel. The word “Hotel” will appear on its sign.

A more modest establishment can be called “Hotelik” :) Its price is somewhere around 120-150 pln.

“Gifts” (gosciniec) are at approximately the same level, but under the sign of Zakwaterowanie there will most likely be something quite modest.

We just have to deal with Polish road signs and indicators, which have their own characteristics. Most Polish roads go through populated areas, and photo radars are installed in villages and villages. Signs must indicate their presence. Such…

or like that.

On dangerous sections of the road, signs with the word “wypadki” are installed. Alas, this is not precipitation, this is an accident.

“Attacks” can be like this.

In small towns we often encounter signs that are unfamiliar to us. At the exit from the fire station there is a sign that says “departure. guard."

A similar sign warns about the departure of ambulances (pogotowie ratunkowe in Polish).

But this sign is installed under the “pedestrian crossing” sign and means “attention children.”

On Polish roads you can often see such a sign under the “Winding Road” sign, it indicates the number of windings :)

If their number cannot be described, then they simply write...

But this is not an ordinary sign. It takes place in northern Poland, where many roads have been lined with trees since Prussian times. The warning reads: “trees on the edge of the road.”

And in Bialystok, under the sign “Other dangers”, a sign with the word “piesi” was found. It means pedestrians, not dogs at all, although in Polish dog is pies.

Finally a concept that I won't be able to illustrate. If in response to the question “How to get there?”, they tell you “Cialy czas prosto” (Cialy hour is simple), this means “Straight all the time” :)

Of course, this writing does not pretend to be deep and comprehensive, but if it helps someone overcome Poland more comfortably, then the task will be completed.
