Özet:

From the past to the present, in general, the possibility/impossibility of poetry translation continues in the form of two-pole discussions, but the poetry translation comes to us as a concrete reality with the present examples. However, the difficulties in poetry translation cause serious problems in the translation process. The purpose of this study is to reveal the challenges faced in poetry translation through our own translation experience and to reveal our translation approach that affects our translator decisions. The importance of the study is derived from our efforts to contribute to the field of translation by sharing the outcomes of such a study based on our experience of poetry translation, more specifically. The study’s evaluation includes the 33 poems selected by Parmaksys and the poems in the two-language Turkish-French poem collection entitled “Listen to the Voice of the Birds” (Ecoute le chant des oiseaux), which includes the French translations of these poems. What are the difficulties facing the translation of poems from Turkish to French? Is there any solution to the problems encountered? What methods are used to solve problems? As a result of the assessment, it was seen that in the translation process, the chaire-specific concepts and some cultural concepts created problems. The difference in the vocal, formology and vocal structures of the Turkish and French has caused problems in the translation of the harmonic, rhythm, poetic speech attitude and series structures in the Turkish poems by preserving them in French translations. Despite all these problems, the esthetic transmission measurement has been taken to create the effect that poems create in the source language in the male language. We hope that this work will contribute to those interested in poetry, translation, especially poetry translation.
