This paper deals with the translation of terminology used in Slovene diplomatic language, stressing the importance of working with experts in the fields of diplomacy and translation. The study is based on an analysis of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 (placed in effect in 1964), its versions in three of the official languages of the UN (English, French, and Russian), the two (unofficial) Slovene translations, and the German translation. The Slovene translations are also compared with the Serbo-Croatian translation, which is the only official translation of the Convention ratified by the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1964.Downloads
