THE PROBLEM OF PRESERVING PSYCHOLOGICAL DETAILS IN TRANSLATION

Abstract

This study examines the challenges of preserving psychological details in literary translation and explores strategies to maintain characters’ inner worlds. Psychological details, including emotions, thoughts, motivations, and inner conflicts, are crucial for narrative authenticity and reader engagement. Translators face linguistic, cultural, and stylistic challenges that may distort or obscure these subtleties. The study analyzes types of psychological details, factors affecting their translation, and modern translation strategies. Case studies demonstrate practical applications, while contemporary translation theories provide theoretical frameworks for maintaining psychological fidelity. Findings emphasize the importance of adaptive translation techniques, cultural awareness, stylistic sensitivity, and reader-oriented approaches in achieving accurate and emotionally resonant translations. The study contributes to improving translation quality, fostering cross-cultural understanding, and preserving the emotional and cognitive impact of the original text.
