Literary translation

Literary translation of texts means translation of a fiction, advertising, journalistic work from one language to another. In doing so, a major emphasis is placed not on just word-for-word translation of the meaning, but on the atmosphere, style, author's manner of writing, the richness of a language and aesthetics, the general atmosphere of the text.[pEnd]Our agency can perform the following literary translations: memoirs; children's literature (poetry, prose); world classic literature and contemporary authors; advertising leaflets, booklets, presentations; scripts; subtitles for movies; songs.
