Summary/Abstract: The article analyses translator’s problems and the role of different paratexts (such as footnotes, comments, forewords, afterwords and text on the cover of books) in the translation of specialized texts (scientific ones in particular). In this type of texts, the information is imperative to the reader, so every intervention of a translator makes the sense more clear in the translated work.
