Abstract

 The objective of the present research was to probe the probable relation between translators' gender and transference
of aesthetic factors in the translation of rhymed prose. The purpose was achieved through descriptive, comparative,
and relational tests and analysis. A translation protocol, consisting of 10 rhymed prose sentences which were
translated by 25 female and 25 male BA students of English translation. These students were selected amongst 115
students through the series of processes. Translated rhymed prose sentences were assessed by two raters who were
MA student of English translation with Waddington model of translation quality assessment. After analyzing the
assessed papers, the researchers came to this conclusion that male participants mainly focused on the diction and
form of rhymed prose sentences whereas female ones mainly focused on meaning and grammatical points. So male
participants could transfer aesthetic factors better and it revealed that there was a relation between translators' gender
and transference of aesthetic factors in the translation of rhymed prose. The researchers used T-test operation and
concluded that the relation between above said issues was significant.
