Poetry Translation
Poetry translation is the process of converting a poem from one language to another while trying to preserve its original meaning, tone, and artistic qualities. This task is challenging because poetry often relies on specific word choices, rhythms, and cultural references that may not have direct equivalents in another language.
Translators must balance fidelity to the original text with the need to create a poem that resonates with readers in the new language. Successful translations can introduce poets and their work to a broader audience, enriching the literary landscape across cultures.
