Literature – Language as an Art Form
Literary translation is one of the most demanding disciplines in the language services world – because it takes far more than linguistic fluency. It’s about capturing tone, preserving stylistic nuance, and conveying subtle cultural undercurrents with sensitivity and flair. At Bohemian Dragomans®, we embrace this challenge with passion and precision.
Whether you’re publishing a novel, memoir, nonfiction title, or scholarly work, we ensure that your text resonates just as powerfully in the target language as it does in the original – authentic, compelling, and emotionally true. And because we’re certified under DIN EN ISO 17100, the internationally recognized standard for professional translation services, you can count on quality that’s as structured as it is inspired.

Where Literary Sensibility Meets Subject Expertise
Our literary translations are crafted by seasoned professionals with proven credentials in both literature and their fields of specialization. Many of our translators are themselves authors, editors, or literary scholars — with a fine-tuned sense of language, culture, and voice.
They work closely with experienced revisors who ensure that every text is polished for stylistic flow, linguistic coherence, and terminological precision. The result: a translation that honours the spirit of the original while standing on its own as a fluent, publishable work in the target language.
