This approach highlights instances in which political metaphors, poetic silences and gendered language are mistranslated or neutralised altering the meaning of feminist discourse. Using feminist literary works in Hindi and Persian as examples of misinterpretations such as Google’s mistranslation of Hindi gendered pronouns and the softening or replacement of radical feminist language with apolitical phrasings the paper postulates a critical humanities intervention rather than presenting an empirical evaluation of machine translation. It contends that translation is not a neutral act but rather a site of ideological framing where some narratives are emphasised while others are weakened or eliminated. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Intersections: Gender & Sexuality in Asia & the Pacific is the property of Intersections and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
