Poland has a population of over 38 million people.
A nation with a proud cultural heritage, Poland can trace its roots back over 1,000 years. Positioned at the centre of Europe, it has known turbulent and violent times. There have been periods of independence as well as periods of domination by other countries. Several million people, half of them Jews, died in World War II.

Translators always risk inappropriate spill-over of source-language idiom and usage into the target-language translation. On the other hand, spill-overs have imported useful source-language calques and loanwords that have enriched the target languages. Indeed, translators have helped substantially to shape the languages into which they have translated.

Due to the demands of business documentation consequent to the Industrial Revolution that began in the mid-18th century, some translation specialties have become formalized, with dedicated schools and professional associations.

Because of the laboriousness of translation, since the 1940s engineers have sought to automate translation (machine translation) or to mechanically aid the human translator (computer-assisted translation). The rise of the Internet has fostered a world-wide market for translation services and has facilitated language localization.

Rich Literature
Despite the pressure of non-Polish administrations in Poland, who have often attempted to suppress the Polish language, a rich literature has developed over the centuries, and the language is currently the largest in terms of speakers of the West Slavic group. It is also the second most widely spoken Slavic language after Russian.

Origins of the Polish Language
Like Czech and Slovak, Polish is part of the West-Slavic group of the Indo-European languages. It came from the Proto-Slavic language which was used as the mother tongue of all past Slavic tribes. The Polish language has developed so much throughout history that the texts written in the Middle Ages are difficult to understand for today’s Poles and need to be read with a dictionary of archaisms.

Polish Dialects
While most Poles speak standard Polish, there are several dialects within the Polish language. These are easily understandable to native Polish speakers as they are based mostly on regional pronunciation and vocabulary changes. Different dialects within Polish include Silesia and Podale (highlander’s dialect). Kashubian is also spoken – this is a separate language used by the Polish living west of Gdansk near the Baltic Sea. It is quite rare, with between 100,000 and 200,000 speakers and is gradually becoming extinct.

Population Distribution in the UK (source Wikipedia.org)
The main hub of the London Polish community is Hammersmith in west London, as well as Ealing, Balham, Enfield and Haringey. The activities revolve around the Polish Social and Cultural Centre (POSK) in King Street. Polish newspapers and food shops are increasingly apparent following Poland’s entry into the European Union in May 2004. Many towns and cities in the UK have long established and relatively large Polish communities, most notably London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bradford, Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham. Other communities exist in locations such as Leicester, Slough, Reading and Melton Mowbray.
Poles have also settled in Hereford, Sheffield, Bolton, Bury, Northampton, Peterborough and Chorley in Lancashire. There is a long established Polish community in Bristol and there are also concentrations in Derby, South Yorkshire, South Wales, North Wales mainly in Wrexham, Rugby, Banbury, Luton, Evesham and Swindon. Scotland has seen a significant influx of Polish immigrants with estimates of Poles currently living in Scotland ranging from 40,000 according to General Register Office for Scotland up to 50,000 as per Polish Council, with around 5,000 in the Highlands region. This has led to the creation of a bilingual English-Polish newspaper. Carlisle in Cumbria, which is twinned with the Polish city of Słupsk, has a Polish population of over 1,600. Blackpool has about 5,000 immigrants living in and around the resort on the Fylde coast. The local newspaper is one of a handful of British newspapers to have its own online edition in Polish called Witryna Polska. Following the recent migrations, many towns and cities in the UK now have a growing number of Polish inhabitants. Polish workers are employed in agriculture and light industry in the countrysides of low-population density regions such as East Anglia and East Midlands.

Polish to English Translation
With an estimated 1 million Poles having emigrated to the United Kingdom in recent years (source: Polityka magazine), there is more need than ever for Polish to English translation as well as English to Polish translation.

Learning Polish
Polish can be very difficult for foreigners to learn due to its system of grammatical gender. Polish uses three genders – masculine, feminine and neuter – and is also broken down into animate and inanimate. It shares some Latin grammar and vocabulary and has three genders – masculine, feminine and neuter. Polish also uses the Latin alphabet and excludes the letters ‘q’, ‘v’ and ‘x’ except for in foreign words.
