Literary translation includes a wide range of activities that deal not only with fiction or poetry but \nalso with popular science essays, newspaper articles, diaries, memoirs, etc. These different kinds \nof texts presuppose different strategies and criteria of translation processing. The unified approach \nis to consider them integrally as nonstrictly determined translation opposed to strictly determined \ndocumentary translation. The difference between the two manifests itself mainly in the proportion of \novert and covert regulations and criteria for the choice of equivalents. Literary translation is a covertly \nregulated process, which is connected with a number of complications, i.e. personal nature of texts \nunder translation (authorship); unspecified audience; interlingual and intercultural inequality; and \nsome others. The lack of systemic criteria determines the use of intuitive choices, such as observer-, \nhelper- or enlightener-strategy
