Abstract. One of the major encounters of identity and otherness one could witness is coming across names of places in a country, which appear in two languages. This situation can be witnessed in bilingual territories or in circumstances where there is a different official language than the one of the indigenous people. The aim of this paper is to gather the first official appearance of the names of human establishments in Covasna County, to establish their source language and examine their current forms, their translations into target language and to summarize the applied translation techniques in order to find the most common one among those appliable to the translation of toponyms.

Keywords: toponyms, oikonyms, translation techniques, etymology
