It is commonly accepted that local colour elements are weakened in the translation into foreign language, but they do not have to be neglected. Colour elements not only signalise foreign locality, but can enrich the target language, because of that, our aim is to find if some of the colour elements were kept and which translation procedures were used.

The lexis under examination is based on dialogues between the characters in the popular and controversial Turkish TV series "The Magnificent Century," which tells the story of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Suleiman the Magnificent, and his love for the Slavic slave girl Roksolana (Hürrem). The translators had to make an important decision: to what extent and in what manner to convey the typical vocabulary of Islamic culture to Slavic-speaking (Polish, Bulgarian, and Russian) audiences, largely belonging to Christian cultures. After analyzing the material, it turns out that most of the original phrases and vocabulary were preserved primarily in the Russian translation, while in the Polish and Bulgarian translations, the translators tried to avoid using vocabulary from the Muslim vocabulary.
