The purpose of the study is to determine which translation strategy and procedures can be used to successfully transfer the unique identity of a certain group of characters to the target text. A study is made of literature written on the subject of dialect translation as well as the translation of names to identify the strategy and possible procedures that can be applied to this translation. Identity forming elements from the source text is categorised and examples from each category is identified for analysis. By applying the identified strategy and procedures on the identity forming elements, certain sub-procedures that are used predominantly to portray the identity of the characters in the target text, are identified. © University of Pretoria INHOUDSOPGAWE 1.

INLEIDING 1.1 Probleemstelling Sir Terry Pratchett was daarvoor bekend dat hy aan karakters op ʼn humoristiese manier ʼn sekere unieke identiteit gegee het.
