For those of us still anxiously awaiting the complete translation of the Witcher saga from the original Polish, a number of questions arise: Why is it taking so long?

In "Proper Names in Translation", Daerdin examines the choices made by the first translator of the saga, Danusia Stok. As a native speaker of Polish, Daerdin offers a unique perspective on the translation.
