Ключевое слово: «translation problems»

This article examines the artistic and emotional features of a poetic work and the translation problems associated with them. Solutions to these problems are provided using the example of the author's own artistic translation of a poem from English into Russian. Based on this analysis, a conclusion is made about the inability of modern Artificial Intelligence technologies to replace professional translators in the field of artistic translation of poetry.

An artionym is a linguistic term for various titles, although most often it is used to describe the titles of the paintings. Some of these titles pose a significant problem for translators due to their close connection to the country’s culture, historical events or historic figures that can be relatively unknown outside their homeland. It can be hard not only to translate, but also to understand for outsiders, who don’t have a specific cultural background. The translators, who work with artionyms, should, therefore, not only have a wide range of knowledge of various cultures and subjects, but also know how to present this information to the audience – both knowledgeable and unfamiliar with the subject. This article describes cultural peculiarities of artionyms and problems with their translation. It uses 15 paintings as an example of how translators solve this problem using translation techniques and try to keep their cultural elements intact.
