Abstract

Translation in the field of international relations and diplomacy – written or oral – is a very important issue. On the one hand, it requires observing formality limits and avoiding ambiguity, on the other – following the diplomatic etiquette and the international courtesy rules. The article examines the issue of titles translation, i.e. heads of state and government, as well as translation of the forms of addresses as adopted in the system of international relations. Special emphasis is placed on the distinction between addresses and address-titles and their translation.

Key words: international courtesy, diplomatic etiquette, title, address, address-title
