The paper presents a practical case of translation of a Dutch book into Russian. The project took place at the Lomonosov State university of Moscow. Russian students who choose Dutch as a second language at the Faculty of Philology participated the translation seminars with the aim to translate the book by Jan Renkema "Het DNA van Nederland" into Russian. A new approach was used in the course: instead of individual passages, one text was chosen, and a modern translation program was used. During the translation, students faced a number of difficulties, both at the text level, and when choosing specific words and expressions for the most accurate transfer of meaning. These challenges are listed in the paper.
