Translation of subaltern literature in contemporary discourse raises multiple challenges, stemming from the social, cultural, and linguistic marginality that defines subaltern voices. Subaltern literature, by nature, represents communities historically silenced or underrepresented, often reflecting the lived experiences, dialects, and epistemologies of people at the periphery of dominant cultural narratives. Translating such texts is not merely a linguistic exercise; it involves negotiating the power dynamics inherent in who speaks, who is heard, and how meaning is conveyed across languages. One significant issue in translating subaltern literature is linguistic specificity. Subaltern texts often employ vernaculars, regional idioms, or non-standard dialects that carry cultural connotations and social identities. Translators face the dilemma of whether to preserve the original linguistic flavor, which may risk alienating target readers, or to render the text into standardized forms, which may erase the subaltern voice and its social context. For example, translating rural dialects or culturally loaded expressions into a global lingua franca can result in loss of authenticity or flattening of nuance,
