This article constitutes an attempt to present various modifications that could be made to the Polish version of the Vocabulaire européen des philosophies edited by Cassin. The text touches on Polish philosophical untranslatables that could become new entries in the VEP, such as the word czyn, as well as Polish vocabulary that could be connected with already existing entries. The article also describes the peculiarities of Polish as a language of philosophy in the context of extant VEP entries on particular languages. Polish philosophical language is presented in a historical perspective, which enables discussing the original word-formation characteristic of the Romanticist era, as well as the history of philosophical translations into Polish. Also presented is a series of translation problems which influenced Polish philosophical vocabulary and continue to pose issues for both translators and commentators of foreign philosophies. Certain words, such as liberalism and šaria are presented in the context of the present political situation. All issues were considered from a practical point of view, as pertains to the publication of the Polish translation, and the last part concerns specific editorial changes that should be considered by the Polish translators.
