Literary Translations
Literary translation is fundamentally different from other types of translation. This is due to the fact that the poetic communication function takes precedence in literary translation. This means that literary translation has an artistic purpose in addition to conveying information to the reader. The creative image formed in a literary work (whether it is a character or a scene from nature) will undoubtedly have an impression on the reader.
As a result, the literary translator must consider the text’s unique characteristics. It is the poetic focus of the text that distinguishes this sort of translation from, say, informative texts.
We experience the text itself with its meaning, emotions, and characters when we read a story, poem, or any other sort of literary work translated from a foreign language.
Scope of literary translations
The primary purpose of the translation, which is to create a specific image for the reader, is a challenging job. This means that literary translation may deviate from established rules. The complexity and substance of the literary work cannot be captured in a literal translation. A literary translator interprets the source text in a non-literal manner and completely rewrites and interprets the content from the beginning to the very end.
Moreover, the differences in context between the original language of the work and the translation must be considered; for example, a translation from Arabic to Danish must consider the cultural context of the source and the target language.
