Literary

Literary translation is a specialized field that requires not only fluency in both the source and target languages, but also a deep understanding of the nuances of literature, culture, and context. At Linguance, we have a team of experienced literary translators who are passionate about the written word and committed to faithfully conveying the author’s intent to readers in the target language.

Our literary translation services cover a wide range of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and more. We work with publishers, literary agents, authors, and other clients to deliver high-quality translations that capture the beauty, emotion, and meaning of the original work. Our translators have the skills and expertise to handle the complexities of literary translation, such as preserving the style, tone, and voice of the author, and finding the right words to convey cultural references, idioms, and other linguistic nuances.

Whether you need a translation of a classic novel, a contemporary work of fiction, or a memoir, we can provide a professional, accurate, and culturally sensitive translation that captures the essence of the original work. Our goal is to help our clients reach a wider audience and share their message with readers around the world. We take pride in our work and are dedicated to delivering translations that are both faithful to the original and engaging to the reader.
