Despite its approach to common themes to big cities of the contemporary world, the difficulties in translating such immensely different languages are always challenging. In this article, it was selected expressions referring to smells, for these constitute a very important element in Kim Ki-taek’s poetry and also bring about complex issues involving translation of cultural and semantic aspects between the two languages. By analyzing each selected word and its translation, and comparing it with the translation into Spanish as well, it turned out to be clear the search for diverse translation procedures to reach for an adequate poetic equivalent. |
