Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper was to examine, identify and define strategies by which it is possible to translate such language varieties as the youth language, as well as their specific local, cultural and temporal linguistic forms (thus also the youth-colored Overall style of a text) into another language. The original text of Marko Vidojković's novel Ples sitnih demona and its German translation Tanz der kleinen Dämonen by translator Milan Andrejić served as the subject of the examination. Contrastive and descriptive methods were chosen as a methodological approach to the text analysis.
