By means of practical examples I shall show some of the methods I adopted to overcome these problems whilst remaining as close as possible to the original text whilst using as many Maltese words as possible. However, sometimes I had either to resort to using English words, particularly those which have been accepted in everyday usage or to coin new words or paraphrase the original word or phrase.
