TRANSLATING...🔄🔄:

I’ve made it very clear—both in my pinned and in the past when people reached out—that I do not allow translations or reposts of my works on any other platforms. I’ve always denied permission for translation requests. Here's a screenshot of my og work and the translated version side by side

whoever did this didn’t ask, didn’t approach me, just went ahead and translated it and thought slapping a “credit” was enough. it’s not. this isn’t about credit—it’s about consent. “did you talk to them before posting your clarification?—”no. I didn't. just like they didn't ask for my permission. I've already reported this channel and contacted support. and if you'll report this channel for me that'd be a great help.

no one on telegram knows me, and frankly, I don’t want to be on that app. so please don’t repost, translate, or share my fics anywhere outside of where I post them myself. if you see my works floating around on telegram or elsewhere, just know they’re stolen. and again, I DO NOT CONSENT TO MY WORKS BEING STOLEN, TRANSLATED, PLAGIARISED AND BEING FEED TO AI.

How do you translate a poem?

The translators role is to faithfully convey the meaning and spirit of the original poem but to also keep its rhythm and sound and overall linguistic impact, right?

However, if you study more than one language you know that obviously having the direct translation will not typically have the same rhythm and sound, so sometimes a translator may prioritize the poem’s sound over its exact meaning, especially when the rhythm and musicality are central to the poem’s emotional impact. Likewise, a translator may sacrifice some aesthetic qualities to preserve the idea or intent of the original text. This is why we have many different translations of texts like poetry.

As I was reading Babel by R.F.Kuang, one of the characters expresses how being a translator is to be a traitor. You are either a traitor to the author or to the audience.
