Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I investigated the Turkish translation of Bitmemiş Hikayeler Kütüphanesi [Library of Unfinished Stories, つづきの図書館] by Sachiko Kashiwaba. Gestures, in the target text, are determined and are examined how gestures are translated from Japanese to Turkish. Based on this, it is presented how emblem gesture should be taught to Turkish native students. Findings showed that translating gesture requires other strategies such as gesture-dialogue connection, synchronization, and cultural sense. For translating emblem gestures, it is necessary to translate the meaning and function of the source text, besides approaching them with a complex perspective in the translation process. In addition, in the translation process from the source language to the target language, not only linguistic and syntactic knowledge but also the languageculture relationship of the source language should be taught to Turkish students. For this purpose, it is considered that the use of gesture and body movement, visual materials, and the introduction of gestures of source culture have the importance. By this way, it is expected that a new point of view can help students in education of translation studies.
