Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with a theoretical basis of translating promotional and advertising texts which occur in various formats, sucha s commercial advertisments, company brochures, websites, tourist guides or institutional campaigns. Despite their difference in form, they usually serve the same purpose – to inform readers about a product or service and/or buy it. Consequently, the translation of these texts requires many skills, the application of different techniques, as well as cultural adaptation and/or rewriting.
