Literary translators convert journal articles, books, poetry, and short stories from one language into another language. They work to keep the tone, style, and meaning of the author's work. Whenever possible, literary translators work closely with authors to capture the intended meaning as well as the literary and cultural characteristics of the original. 1, record 2, English, - literary%20translator

Le traducteur littéraire a pour mission la traduction des œuvres d'auteurs étrangers dans sa langue natale : romans, nouvelles, pièces de théâtre, essais… Ce n'est pas tant sa compréhension d'une langue étrangère que l'on recherche, même s'il se doit de la maîtriser parfaitement, mais sa capacité à transmettre le texte et ses subtilités en français. Le traducteur littéraire dispose donc d'une très bonne plume, afin de pouvoir faire passer le ton, l'humour ou les jeux de mots de l'auteur. 1, record 2, French, - traducteur%20litt%C3%A9raire
