If it was kept original then we were not given the chance to read about this beautiful piece but I agree that with the translations, it made the message of the story challenging to understand.elbchaymae wrote:i do prefer the origin version because there's a specific tenses of descriptions in any language wich couldn't have a 100% equivalent meaning if translated . so i like to keep it original

I am happy to know about this. At least the effort of the writers and the translator were not put in vain considering that their aim in translating their book is to reach more audience.Mszymonik wrote:I only found five errors in translation in the whole book. I thought it was beautifully translated. Lots of adjectives I have never used were used (and I'm a writer myself). I truly was impressed by the translation and the flow was 90% on target in my opinion.

The translation may not have attained the thoughts of the guards a hundred percent but the story brought pieces of advice and reminders to me.Jaime Lync wrote:I didn't mind the translation that much. I read light novels being translated from Korean to English and those are super bad. This translation was golden compared to the light novels I read.

If it isn't that well translated, one can miss the fine points of the tale, though.Donnavila Marie01 wrote:The translation may not have attained the thoughts of the guards a hundred percent but the story brought pieces of advice and reminders to me.Jaime Lync wrote:I didn't mind the translation that much.

For "My Trip to Adele," I enjoyed the read immensely. In the original Arabic version, did the authors translate Adele's songs? I wonder.
