The aim of this paper is to examine the history of the translation of Finnish and Swedish-Finnish literature into the Polish language. The analysis takes a quantitative approach, presenting the statistics of the translations that were published in the years 1853–2016, as well as offering an analysis the changes noticeable throughout the decades, so that prevailing patterns can be discerned. The paper provides a commentary on the observable variations, which includes these rooted in the political, social, and linguistics contexts. The said circumstances are linked to the translational choices. The analysis also incorporates a discussion of the most frequently republished and retranslated texts.
