English to Polish Translation
Translating between English and Polish can pose significant challenges for translators. For one, though Polish has adopted the Latin script, it has adapted it to meet its own needs. This has led to a situation where those unfamiliar with the Polish alphabet may recognise the letters but be surprised by the sounds they make.
The Polish grammar system is also notoriously complex, with many features that will be completely new to English speakers. For instance, the Polish language uses three genders – masculine, feminine and neuter – and grammatical case is directly related to the position of a noun in a sentence. Such intricacies require a translator with a deep knowledge of Polish grammar to unpick.

Polish translation tips
Formal vs. informal speech
There are formal and informal levels of distinction in Polish. The informal “you” is used among friends, family and in casual settings, while the formal form is reserved for strangers and business communications. Mistakenly translating using the wrong form may produce unconvincing or unnatural sounding content.
Gendered terms
The Polish “you” indicates the gender of the person you’re speaking to. Choose the wrong form and your message may be lost in translation. Even simple questions can be phrased in many different ways, so it’s important to clarify this with your translator(s).

Polish varieties and dialects
Polish is spoken by over 55 million people worldwide. The majority of these people can be found in Poland itself, though there exists large emigrant communities in countries including the US, UK, Israel and Canada. Polish is also one of the official languages of the European Union.
Linguists identify four distinct dialects of Polish, each corresponding to a different geographic region and each containing its own sub-dialects. These is Greater Polish, spoken in the west, Lesser Polish, spoken in the south, Masovian, spoken in central Poland and the east, and Silesian, spoken in the southwest. Despite clear linguistic differences, these dialects are generally mutually intelligible.
Localizing websites using hreflang meta tags
When translating a website it’s important to ensure that search engines are able to understand exactly what language (or languages) your content is available in. In addition to the language attribute on the <html> tag, each page should also include a <head> section in which links to its localized equivalent are listed.
If the primary language of your website is English, for example, and you want to translate it into Polish, then every translated page should include the following block of code in the <head> section:
<link rel="alternate" href="https://example.com/about/" hreflang="en" />
<link rel="alternate" href="https://example.com/pl/about/" hreflang="pl" />
Keep in mind that this block should be added to both the original and the localized versions of your page (in this case: example.com/about/ & example.com/pl/about/). By doing this, each page points to every available localized version of itself, making it easy for search engines to understand the structure of your site and display the appropriate translation for every user.
Targeting a language and a country
In addition to specifying the language that your content is written in, you can also specify particular countries that you would like to target. This is ideal for a language that is spoken in multiple countries, such as Polish (spoken in Poland, as well as in expatriate communities in countries such as the UK and the US). To do this, the country to be targeted is simply included in the hreflang attribute, like so:
<link rel="alternate" href="https://example.com/pl/" hreflang="pl" />
<link rel="alternate" href="https://example.com/pl-UK/" hreflang="pl-uk" />
<link rel="alternate" href="https://example.com/pl-US/" hreflang="pl-us" />
