Abstract
Language, like people, evolves in response to geographic location. In nations like Ireland, Britain and Italy, dialectal language forms have thrived and continue to survive, despite the homogenising influence of mass media. Translating dialectal poetry involves particular challenges for translators who are faced with attempting to transpose not merely content but culture.
