Why are there English translations of Thai novels?

One reason could be to reach a wider international audience. English is a widely spoken language, so translating Thai novels into English makes them accessible to more readers around the world.

One reason could be that finding qualified translators for such a project is challenging. Also, the cost of translation and publishing might not be feasible for some publishers. Another factor could be that the novels might not have gained enough popularity globally to justify the effort of translation.

Another is the language structure. Chinese is a very different language from English in terms of grammar and sentence construction.

Also, the use of idioms and allusions in Chinese novels can be a headache for translators as they need to find equivalent expressions in English without losing the original flavor.

Also, the tone and voice of the characters in Chinese novels may be hard to capture precisely in English translations as the two languages use different intonations and stress patterns to convey emotions.
