The article discusses attempts to transfer meanings contained in the grammatical category of dual based on selected translations of prose from Slovenian into Polish. Translators choose different solutions: reduction to the plural, resulting in a change in grammatical and semantic information; introduction of explicit information about the presence of the dual forms; or substitution and explication. Having added information about dual, the translator contributes to a transcultural process in which the translation is involved. It leaves a trace of the meeting between two different grammatical systems and creates a transcultural dimension to the translation.
