Czech Versions of Word Games in the Form of Mobile Applications

Abstract

By official statistics in 2020 about 218 billion mobile applications were downloaded worldwide. A quarter of this huge amount is represented by games. Games have an indispensable role in human development, regardless of the form in which they can exist. One type of games is word games, which have a huge impact on our verbal intelligence. In the case of word games in the form of mobile applications, emphasis should be placed on both accuracy and proper translation. In my paper, I would like to point out the errors that occur in selected Czech versions of word games caused by poor translation and their impact on understanding.
