Translations of Poetry: Standard & Problems

Abstract

Translation is both a linguistic and a cultural activity, and it is concerned with the communication of meaning. The translation of poetry poses a good deal of problems for the translator. Poetry translation involves not only the transfer of meaning but a host of associations charged with the meaning that needs to be translated from the SL text into the TL text. The most difficult thing in poetry translation is finding equivalent words of literary echoes in the target language. Translation of poetry is the most difficult mode of translation. This is because it abounds in figures of speech such as similes. Metaphors, irony. Paradox etc.
