This case study examines the 'domesticating and foreignizing' strategies of translation, through the interdisciplinary nature of Translation Studies, in an attempt to translate the Turkish Cypriot poet and author Nese Yasin's novel zgn Kizlarin Gizli Tarihi (The Secret History of the Sad Girls): 'To domesticate or to foreignize' And is this the only choice the translator has? The 'domesticating' strategy in translation presents the source text as local and it reduces the source text to the target text language. Whereas the 'foreignizing' strategy "sends the reader abroad" and gives the reader a taste and flavor of the culture and language of the source text. How should the translator proceed? Furthermore, through the lens of Translation Studies, how does gender, (multi)culturalism, politics, linguistics, feminism and the feminist voice, literary theory and criticism function or take their role in our attempt to translate Yasin's novel? What is the role of the translator? What about the polylingual and multicultural aspects of language in translation and the borders and boundaries around them? Is a translation the "afterlife" of the text? Are we lost in translation?
