Abstract
Translating African literature into global languages presents unique challenges in Egypt's cultural context, where multiple linguistic and literary traditions coexist. A qualitative approach involving interviews with translators, scholars, and cultural practitioners in Egypt will be employed to gather insights on current practices and identify areas needing improvement. Egypt's unique role in bridging African literature with global readers necessitates a tailored approach that respects linguistic diversity and cultural specificity. Develop culturally sensitive translation guidelines, foster collaborative networks between translators and scholars from different regions, and encourage comparative studies of translated works to highlight their value across cultures.
