Professional Literary Translation Services for Books, Poetry, and Creative Works

What is Literary Translation?

Literary translation refers to the art of translating creative and literary texts such as fiction, non-fiction, plays, poetry, and scripts from one language to another. Unlike technical translations, literary translation requires more than just accuracy; it involves capturing the emotions, metaphors, and stylistic elements of the original work. At Pal Translation, our literary translators are not only linguists but also writers and editors with a profound understanding of cultural, historical, and artistic contexts. Whether it’s a classic novel or contemporary poetry, we ensure that your ideas and emotions are preserved, offering a seamless experience for your readers across linguistic borders.
