Lj Popovic (asker) Oct 7, 2010:
Hvala. Prevod je poslat, stavila sam 'duke', jer se radi o knezu Milanu, a u tekstovima koje sam nasla o njemu uglavnom stoji duke.
M. Vučković Oct 6, 2010:
da li je duke, prince ili nešto treće, zavisi uglavnom od države, ukucajte prince i duke u vikipediju, tamo su razlike prikazane do tančina, po zemljama

Selected

duke

Prince, iako se cesto koristi kao prevod za "knez" ima dvostruko znacenje i moze uneti zabunu kod citaoca.
Note from asker:
A zar ne bi onda i `duke`bio sa dvostrukim znacenjem: knez/vojvoda?
Hvala :)

True! Moj odgovor je baziran sa pogleda razumevanja teksta od strane citaoca. Bezbroj je primera gde se koriste, cak i u istom tekstu, oba prevoda. Npr. u rusko-engleskom recniku se oba navode kao tacna: великий князь {m}grand duke {m}, a i,князь {m}princ

agree ganaa444 : Actually it's similar to Wang in the East which is equal with King (lower than Emperor). However, in Europe it's traditionally translated as "Prince". Княжество-Principality

agree M. Vučković : duke je vojvoda/herceg u germanskim državama. mi imamo i jedno i drugo, ali je herceg došao sa zapada a vojvoda sa istoka.
