Abstract
Translating African literature into global languages poses significant challenges due to differences in cultural contexts and linguistic nuances. A qualitative approach involving interviews with translators and scholars, supplemented by a review of existing literature. Despite these challenges, Egyptian translators have developed innovative strategies such as utilising digital tools and collaborative workshops to enhance translation quality. Future research should prioritise developing culturally sensitive training programmes for translators and fostering collaboration between local and international scholars.
