Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article analyzes characteristics of translations of American, French and Indian literature into Kazakh. The authors examine translations of the works of Rabindranath Tagore and Ferdinand Duchenne into the Kazakh language and describe the style of translation, motives for translation and cultural differences revealed by translation. Using the scientific method of content analysis, the authors show a quantitative imbalance between originals and their translations and attribute this to the historical, cultural and ethical differences.
