Na tle dużej aktywności polskich wydawców w zakresie adaptacji obcych atlasów geograficznych w ostatniej dekadzie XX wieku i pierwszej dekadzie XXI wieku, w artykule omówiono różne podejścia do adaptacji, podejmując próbę ich pogrupowania i nazwania. Ponadto omówiono użyteczność i poprawność kartograficzną adaptowanych publikacji z punktu widzenia polskiego użytkownika oraz podstawowe problemy związane ze stosowaniem polskiego nazewnictwa geograficznego, ale również układem, zakresem treści i symboliką, której spodziewa się polski użytkownik.

Adaptation of foreign cartographic works is the constant practice of publishing industry. Its greatest popularity dates back to the period of the Partitions of Poland (1795–1918), as well as to the time that followed the systemic transition of 1989, but the lowest popularity concerns the times of the Second Republic of Poland and the period of the Polish People Republic. Apogee of issuing the adapted works in Poland dates back to the turn of the twentieth and twenty- -first centuries. The objects of the study were the atlases of general use adapted to the Polish readers at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The main objective of this research was brought to the determination a degree of adjustment of foreign publications for the needs of a Polish customer in the context of cartographical principles, as well as to the attempt of classification and naming the kinds of adaptation. From this perspective, it was interesting to find out which elements of atlas and map content were severely changed to adapt to the Polish users and to what extent the structure of atlas and the content of maps were modified. It was also interesting to identify the substantive problems encountered by Polish cartographers and to show the errors, before which they failed to protect themselves. The paper versions of school atlases, pocket atlases and general geographic atlases were analyzed. The analysis of the collected materials pointed out the similarities in the activities of publishers. Certain compounds emerged between a range of changes made to an original work and a profile of publishing house, especially in the scope of its earlier cartographic experience and market position. In any case, regardless the type of atlas, Polish translation of a text layer, i.e. the geographical names, and explanations in legends, appeared. Two types of adaptation due to the scope of changes made by the Polish publishers were distinguished: basic and complex. A basic adaptation is the translation of a publication into Polish without any interference with the structure of a work or any correction of the substantive errors. A complex adaptation consists of the translation of the text layer and the introduction of a newly developed specific part regarding Poland and replacing the pages with presentation of a country, from which the original work is. Moreover several common mistakes that appeared in the adapted atlases were identified. Proper elaboration of geographical names was identified as the greatest difficulty in preparing the adaptations of atlases.

Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie problematyki stosowania polskich egzonimów w polskich atlasach szkolnych wydanych w XX wieku. Służy temu analiza sposobu stosowania polskich egzonimów w atlasach szkolnych, jak zmieniały się ich relacje z nazwami oficjalnymi i czy ustalenia krajowe i międzynarodowe dotyczące tych nazw były brane pod uwagę przez autorów opracowujących nazewnictwo. Artykuł składa się z dwóch części - wprowadzenia do tematyki nazewnictwa geograficznego oraz analizy nazewnictwa geograficznego stosowanego w wybranych atlasach szkolnych.

School atlases influence not only our common knowledge of the world, but also about the world's names. The way Polish exonyms are presented in atlases is significant. Polish is an inflectional language, therefore exonyms can be declined (case forms); it is also easy to create derivative forms, especially adjectives, which facilitates everyday use of foreign names. In the living language it is necessary to inflect and polonize names, which brings about new exonyms. Exonyms functioning in Polish should also be presented on school atlas maps, for easy identification. The paper presents the analysis of school atlases published in the years 1901-1989. During that time 23 school atlases were published in 111 editions and 38 additional printings of some of them. For the analysis of Polish names 19 atlases (14 titles and 5 editions) and one area from each continent (except Antarctica) have been selected. Polish names used in selected school atlases varied significantly both in their form and location. In analyzed atlases the number of exonyms varies between 39 and 210. Comparison of Polish exonyms in school atlases in the years 1901-1989 shows no major changes in their application. Their frequency in particular atlases depended mostly on the authors' preferences and atlas volume rather than period of publication. Following the regulation of the issue after the second World War, names appearing in atlases of that time were similar. This was also due to the fact that there was only one publishing house, which applied its uniform approach to exonyms. Differences in the early 1900s and between the wars were largely caused by a large number of publishers, who had individual approaches as well as lack of any scientific or official standard. The authors usually prepared their own exonyms basing on various sources. Polish exonyms in school atlases usually defied international regulations in the field. In school atlases numerous exonyms were applied instead of officially approved names.

Po scharakteryzowaniu nowego polskiego prawodawstwa, autor podaje przykłady funkcjonowania dwu- i wielojęzycznego nazewnictwa w krajach, w których stosowane jest ono już od dawna. W ostatniej części artykułu przeprowadzona jest próba zastosowania dwujęzycznego nazewnictwa na mapach z obszaru Polski.

On January, 2005 Polish Parliament passed the Act on National and Ethnic Minorities and on the Regional Language. It is the first legal act in the post-war history of Poland regulating completely the issues of national, ethnic and linguistic minorities. Until now the Polish legislation regarding this matter was divided among many legal regulations and some issues were not codified at all. The new act defines minorities - national and ethnic, as well as the regional language. According to the act minorities are groups of Polish citizens who differ substantially from other citizens by means of their language, culture or tradition, who are aware of their own historical and national bonds, and whose ancestors have inhabited Poland for at least the past 100 years. A national minority refers to a group that has an independent state elsewhere, and ethnic minority to a group that does not have a state at all. The act mentions 9 national minorities, 4 ethnic minorities and one regional language. In regard to geographical names, two regulations included in the act are of special importance. In communes (3rd level administrative units), in which the given national or ethnic minority constitutes at least 20% of the population, the minority's language may be introduced as an auxiliary language. Similar requirements must be met in case of introducing geographical names in the minority's language, however it can also be applied in reference to names of towns in communes in which the given minority constitutes less than 20% of the population provided the majority of the town's population decides for it. Population using a regional language has the same rights regarding the auxiliary language and geographical names as in case of national and ethnic minorities. At present in Poland, a national or ethnic minority or population using a regional language constitutes at least 20% of the population in 51 communes (out of the total number of 2478) (fig. 2). Implementation of regional languages and bilingual names in Poland will cause those names to appear on maps. Because so far such names have not been present on Polish maps, Polish cartographers have not developed any rules of applying them. In EU countries the situation is different. Bilingual names are common, so a review of methods of their usage on maps can help to establish the best rules also for Poland. Several ways of giving bilingual names can be distinguished. Considering the experience of other countries and Polish regulations in respect to bilingual names on traffic signs it seems that a mixed approach should be applied: a minority name written in the same-type, same-size font should be placed under the Polish name and centered. In the case of extended names (e.g. rivers, finger lakes), the minority name should follow the Polish name, after a slash (fig. 14).
