We agreed that a translator, apart from knowing original and target languages, has to be competent for textual analysis of the original, literature competence for interpreting of artistic texts, as well as being familiar with non-linguistic situation to which it is directed in the original. Wider knowledge of Bulgakov’s work helped the translators in successful pre-coding and stylistic compensation in examined cases.
