Stage I involves: selection of texts in the native language on the chosen topic (20 pages); approval by the supervisor; translation of a part (at least 25%) of the texts from the native language into Ukrainian on the chosen topic. Stage II involves the final translation of the texts; preparation and writing of a translation essay.
