Translation, considered as a product of linguistic diversity or the confusion following the fall of the Tower of Babel, represents anact of communication. In a multilingual society, such as Burkina Faso, translation is an indispensable tool for socioeconomic,political and cultural development. In this paper I propose to examine how multilingualism, which is at the origin of translation,is reflected in Burkinabe literature. Since literature is a fictional representation of reality, I shall examine the way literarycommunication mirrors this reality, i.e., the linguistic and cultural diversity of Burkina Faso. In addition, this paper goes beyondthe classical and linguistic definitions of translation in terms of equivalence between target text and source text and claims that,to some extent, African writers qualify as translators. This is examplified by Fidele P. Rouamba‘s novel Le Carnaval de la mort(“The carnival of death”, 1995). Keywords : Translation, multilingualism, communicative strategies, translation procedures. > Tydskrif vir Letterkunde Vol. 44 (1) 2007: pp. 87-97
