PRESENTATION ABSTRACT

In a world of integration, cross-cultural interactions, communities of nations and countries benefit more and more in sharing the cultural achievements of other communities. Popular songs spread in the communities. Alongside original texts in the source language, to better satisfy the needs of the audience, translators and musicians translate the songs into different target languages. It is possible to depend on translation theory for  general directions. In addition, we use specific rules for translating songs: singability, number of words and syllables, rhymes and rhythms, keywords, themes, and grammar accuracy.
