Cultural Differences in Translation: Challenges and Strategies

Abstract

Translation across cultures is a complex process that goes beyond mere linguistic conversion; it requires a deep understanding of cultural nuances, traditions, and contextual meanings. This article examines the major challenges posed by cultural differences in translation and explores effective strategies that translators employ to address these challenges. The study utilizes a comparative analysis method, supported by two data tables, to provide a clear overview of cultural disparities and corresponding translation approaches. Findings highlight the importance of cultural sensitivity, adaptation techniques, and interdisciplinary knowledge for successful translation outcomes.
