Abstract

The proper nouns translation problem is familiar to any translator. This issue is especially significant when translating the literature of the fantasy genre, because the specificity of such a genre implies the presence of the names of creatures, places, objects, etc. that have no equivalents in other languages. The J. K. Rowling’s novel “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” is a good example of such kind of literature.
