What challenges do translators face in cultural translation of literature?
Translators face several challenges including maintaining the original intent of the author, preserving cultural nuances, and avoiding misinterpretation of culturally specific elements. They must navigate idiomatic expressions and cultural references that do not have direct equivalents in the target culture. Balancing fidelity to the original text with the necessity of making it culturally appropriate can be particularly demanding.
