Abstract
This article aims to understand the processes of cultural translations of the regional language traditional texts. With a case study of a particular folktale from Haryana, we will try to understand the expressions that are typically Haryanvi and rendered using particular linguistic devices in one or two dominant languages of Haryana. We would explore how the borrowing or calque have been used as linguistic techniques of translating the traditional texts in a dominant language variety Hindi for Haryana. The study has been conducted on the basis of a folktale selected from a collection of Haryanvi folktales and close analysis of the text in Hindi and with a particular experimental translation in English.
Keywords: Cultural translation, Haryanvi, Hindi, dominant language, borrowing, calque
