The authors examine translations of the works of Rabindranath Tagore and Ferdinand Duchenne into the Kazakh language and describe the style of translation, motives for translation and cultural differences revealed by translation. Using the scientific method of content analysis, the authors show a quantitative imbalance between originals and their translations and attribute this to the historical, cultural and ethical differences.
