Abstract
Translating African literature from Tanzania into global languages poses unique challenges due to linguistic diversity and cultural specificity. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach integrating literary theory, sociolinguistics, and cross-cultural communication studies. Theoretical frameworks derived from this study offer a nuanced understanding of translation challenges and potential solutions for Tanzanian literature worldwide. Recommendations include fostering intercultural dialogue among translators to enhance cultural sensitivity in translations and promoting comparative studies between languages.
