Translating African literature has become increasingly important as readership expands beyond traditional linguistic boundaries, particularly in contexts where language barriers and cultural differences pose significant challenges. A qualitative approach was adopted through a review of existing literature on translation practices in Congo and interviews with translators working in this field. Focus groups were also conducted to gather insights directly from the practitioners. The analysis reveals that one of the primary challenges is maintaining the authentic voice and cultural nuances while translating Congolese literature into global languages such as English, French, and Spanish. This requires a deep understanding of both source and target cultures. Current strategies, including translation workshops and partnerships with local cultural organizations, are effective but insufficient for addressing these challenges comprehensively. A more structured approach involving intercultural training is proposed to enhance the quality and relevance of translated material. Implementing a series of intercultural training sessions aimed at enhancing translators' grasp of Congolese culture and global linguistic nuances could significantly improve translation outcomes, thereby facilitating greater global engagement with Congolese literature.
