A Practical Study Of Translating Doumöu’ Wa Choumöu’ / Cries And Candles: A Novel From Arabic To French
Authors : Serir-mortad Ilhem .
Abstract
More and more I discover that translation is not a greedy knowledge of words in both or many languages but a whole procedural operational technique able to fail for the least mistake. My beliefs about difficult translation are certainly approved when it is the matter of translating any piece of literature from Arabic to a foreign language especially when you are driven by the risk of such adventure and you endure it in a work that you should absorb through a systematic reading. Accordingly, this is a personal experience that I am living in translating a small novel in Arabic entitled Doumöu’ wa Choumöu’ or Cries and Candles by the Algerian novelist Pr.Abdeljalil Mortad where I have encountered many issues among which stylistic, semantic, cultural, and linguistic are mainly focused. Consequently out of many gist readings I infer that translating the novel is a tiring task if we compare it to a poem or any other type of texts, it is also tedious to approach conveniently the novel since some many difficulties arise in providing a real bridge between Arabic and French and/or English comprising: - Grammar - Dialectal expressions - Cultural components And many other problems that are only discovered once faced by them in a translation mostly sought to be exact or appropriate to the original text.
