Statement of the Problem
In this research, the idea of using three major translation styles to translate the proverbs and idioms in the novels without strict adherence to syntax and meaning was seen as a major concern by the researcher. In a given novel, for instance, some of the materials were translated using the metaphrase technique while some were done in either paraphrase or the imitation method. As a result, some of the translations are without clarity of meaning especially to anyone who is not suffficiently bilingual in both Yoruba and English languages. This was also seen as a problem to the study in that it makes the purpose of translation defeated. Furthermore, some portions of the translated versions are too often, and perhaps indiscriminately left hanging. In some places, crucial or important sentences are left uncompleted. This random incompleteness affects the accuracy of the translations at such points. Also, among the factors that may have contributed to the loss of meaning in the translated versions is the suspected use of the computer or translation software in translating some portions of the novels. Also seen as a problem was the fact that these translated novels are found in schools being used as recommended text books. Such books written in deviant syntax can mislead the impressionable pupils in their acquisition of English usage.
