Is this the name of a circus?

The Polish sentence is the original of this one, and "bułgarski cyrk" is not capitalized, so it's not a proper name.

According to the Polish original, I would say it should be:
Do you like the Bulgarian circus?
BTW, as Selena noted above, it's not a proper name, so "circus" should not be capitalized, I guess.

*the* is missing here.

Maybe.
I don't really know, as I'm not sure what the author of the Polish sentence had in mind when writing this sentence.

Also you is capitalized, I'd remove this sentence because it's the same as #3697832

Since both sentence aren't quite correct, we should probably change this one and delete the other one [#2678434], since this one was here first.

This is my suggestion, assuming that the Polish means Bulgarian circuses in general and not a specific circus.

Do you like Bulgarian circuses?

This is my suggestion if there is a circus named "the Bulgarian Circus."

Do you like the Bulgarian Circus?

I think, it does. I'm not sure about Polish, but for example in Russian the word "sircus" is not used in plural, if we talk about circus in general, like circuses from a certain country. Polish doesn't have definnite and indefinite articles, so it could be hard to say, if it's in general or not (maybe, there is only one circus in Bulgaria?).
Of course, Polish speakers can tell more.

No response. Changed.

Duplicates of this sentence have been deleted:

I believe it should have been:
Do you like the Bulgarian Circus?

This is what all the other variants in the other languages read.
The current change made by cueyayotl requires unlinking this sentence from all the other variants, whereas originally, many of them were directly derived from the previous (albeit wrong) form of this sentence.

The missing "the" can be accounted for by a "Slavic mind", where the author is not accustomed to adding "the" to words in his or her sentences.

I don't believe they do. Granted, the linked sentences are in the singular, English does this thing where it pluralizes nouns when speaking generally.

I made sure that the translated sentences could all be referring to just Bulgarian Circuses in general, which they do; it's just that in other languages, we don't necessarily need the plural for that. They may not be literal translations, but the ideas they can convey share a large overlap, which, I believe, is what constitutes 'linking' here on Tatoeba.
