The Problem of Translation of the Holy Defense Literature into German

Iraqi eight Years war against Iran is an inseparable part of the history of our country and in this regard, some books, texts and memories were written with certain style and terms, specific to it. In order to introduce Iran's Holy Defense to the world, it is needed to translate such texts into other languages. Since this literature, particularly Imam Khomeini's literature, is different from War Literature, the translations run into some problems. Given that a few or no books and work in this field have been translated into German and despite of the problems of translation in the field of holy defense work, the researcher decided to find a way to translate them into German so that it can be possible to provide Germans with an appropriate pattern of divine management and commandant and Islam point of view even in situations like wars. This study entitled "the problems of translating holy defense literature into German" was conducted in order to find solutions to resolve the problems of the translation of such works. Accordingly, ten notable problems were identified and similarly ten solutions were proposed, including the emphasis on the translation based on the cultural similarity and the contingency translation in order to meet its final objective which is to convey values and basis of defense in Islam as well as magnanimous defense by Iranians in the imposed war to foreigners through translating the literature of the Holy Defense.
