Why do translated books sometimes lose the original author’s voice?
#1
What should publishers check when using book translation services for publishers on a literary title? I recently wondered how translators preserve an author’s tone when sentence structure and expressions change between languages. How can editors identify when a translation is accurate but no longer sounds like the original writer? Which review process works best? What honest advice would experienced publishers give before approving the final manuscript?
