Original abstract

Translating emotions represents one of the most complex challenges faced by translators. This theoretical paper argues that emotional transla tion is not limited to the mere transfer of words but involves the faithful conveyance of feelings, affective connotations, and cultural meanings deeply rooted in each language. The paper high lights specific challenges posed by translation be tween Albanian and English – two languages that differ significantly in linguistic structure, cultural traditions, and ways of expressing emotions. Through qualitative analysis combining concrete examples from literary and narrative texts, the paper examines obstacles such as lack of direct equivalents for certain emotions, stylistic differ ences, and culture specific features. It empha sizes translation strategies including explana tion, compensation, and linguistic creativity to preserve emotional authenticity. The conclusion underscores the need for translators to maintain a sensitive, reflective approach to capture under lying emotional energy, thereby ensuring faithful intercultural transmission.
