The translation of fiction is the most versatile, creative, it has no barriers on the way forward new heights, for me it's,
perhaps, the most interesting kind of the translation.
Literality of fiction translation usually spoils it a lot, yet sometimes
it worth to do it as a first draft. For this kind of translation the main importance has not the precision of the words, but
bringing in the mood, author's sense of humor, the
atmosphere itself, i.e. the translator should have a talent for deep
perceiving
Author's World view as well as the heroes of their book. Therewith having a feeling of language forms, knowing
how correctly to deliver, for example, wordplays. Translator should also consider cultural particularities of the country,
which
the composition belongs to or those countries, which might be described in the translating composition.
And of
course this is necessary to know the language perfectly. As it is impossible to draw a good picture with the help of a
stencil, so it is impossible to use the usual translator's tools as, for example, translation memory to make a quality fiction
translation. That's the case when from good friends
they turn into guileful enemies of translator.
If you like reading it's
likely that you know how much the bad translation can spoil the story as well as the cases when translations out topped
the original. For example Krylov, Lafontaine translator, who became famous as
a Russian writer, not as a translator,
which he was. Sure enough fiction translation is the art!
I read a lot and have a rich language, I write poems and stories. You won't ever regret for contacting me with your project.
Your works won't ever
look like pale copies from the original, in the opposite the wil shine with bright colors!
Apart stories
I translate poems and songs. Usually it costs much more. Yet I don't suggest you to pay any
extra, this is something is very
dear for me, thus I never regret of extra time, which I devote to this kind of
translation. If you have a story, article about
music, poem or other interesting proposals, please turn to me,
I would be very glad!
