Abstract :
Translation between languages that have both feminine and masculine gender markers has been consistently problemati and new researches in this field emphasize that the individual and gender identity of the translator has an effect on the translation of texts. The current research is a descriptive-analytical study that examines the translated work and compares it with the source text. In this research, we investigate how two Iranian male and female translators translate the language and views of an Arabic female writer and analyze the effect of the differences between these two translators. For this reason, we examine the difference in the translator's translation based on the components of Sarah Mills's feminine style in the lexical and syntactic layer, which are explored in the source text on the novel Al-Aswad Yaliq Bek novel by Ahlam Mostaghanemi and translated by Maryam Akbari and Mohammad Hammadi. The research method is that we first extract the components of women's writing, then we compare with the two translations of these two translators. And we are looking to answer this question through a comparative analysis and finding the differences in the writing style of a female author and two male and female translators. Have both translators been successful in conveying and depicting the beauty of the female writer's pen? What are the differences and similarities in the work of the two? The findings of the research indicate that Akbari and Hammadi had a similar performance in seven components out of a total of eleven components
