The purpose of this study is to establish the criteria for successful deployment of in-text additions in the translation of realia. Uses and misuses of this technique have been assessed from the conflicting perspectives of foreignization and domestication, with reference to the rich corpus provided by the Russian and English translations of Smagul Yelubay’s Kazakh novel, Ak Boz Uy. From the discussion of specific sub-techniques, the primary conclusion emerges that in-text additions are better accommodated in direct, indirect or free indirect speech than in the voice of an omniscient narrator.
