Translated Literature - “Why won't English speakers read books in translation”

The text entitled “Why won't English speakers read books in translation” published in the BBC. Provides the challenges and benefits of literature pieces translated into English. The article undergoes the mass majority of

books translated through numerical statistics;  

(France, where 27% of books published are in translation. And if that sounds a lot, you might care to know that in Spain it’s 28%, Turkey 40%, and Slovenia a whopping 70%)

Despite having these pieces of literature being acclaimed in their retrospective countries the reluctance or lack of English reading in the UK and the US has limited the imports of translated foreign literature. The text further talks about the inevitability of cultural cross-pollination and foreign authors writing in English. This in relation to the course meets the criteria of the changing cultural and social contexts and the interpretation of

different readers. Due to the changing and increased demand for translated novels, the perception of good reading has marginalized through the competition between English writing and foreign writing. Evidently, the

consumer interest of a foreign author is through the author's indulgence of his/her culture which peaked the

interest of audiences regarding the author's cultural values.

It's indicative that the conservation of the language needs to retain it's cultural significance, therefore, it's

plausible that translated books can skew its initial definition and misinterpret a passages significance.

Regardless the article transcribes the reading foreign literature to be a cultural indulgence and with the further

continuation of published foreign novels; the author evokes reading translated literature to fully embark the

cultural and social norms of its country.
