AB The recent arguments in Translation Studies for the adoption of a foreignising strategy in(literary) translation have come mainly from Anglo-American culture, most notably Law-rence Venuti. He argues persuasively for cultural enrichment via foreignisation. However, adifferent picture emerges when one looks at the issue from the point of view of smalllanguages/cultures. Indeed, the definition of what constitutes foreignisation depends onthe cultural context. We will illustrate our point by discussing the notion of translationstrategy and its influence on translators’ decision-making. We will also discuss examplesfrom the history of translation in Finland as well as a recent translation project of heavyrock lyrics from Finnish into German.
