Yes, unfortunately, we have no good translators for novels and poems enough in the world countries at the present time.Because we are living in the science and technology century.because the average cultural level of the people in this world is very low.Because women dont like poetry mostly.Because people dont like intellectual people.Because people dont find enough time to read.So the century for literature is passing away or vanishing.
Translating requires worldwide literary experience, hardworking, high level linguistics for at least two languages,high level historical and social background, fluency in written, self-motivated, sociable personality with effective novelist qualities, min 15 years of relevant experience in translating and diploma of tranlating...
This is my opinion.

Yilgun, may I congratulate you on your excellent English and comments. Bravo!
