Abstract:

The study aims at filling the gap in the translation of Quranic verses concerning social etiquette[1]. Translating culture specific items (CSIs) can be challenging because certain elements have meanings particular to the culture and the language in which they appear. These meanings do not exist necessarily in other cultures. Translation strategies tend to solve translational problems by applying specific procedures to the translated text. The article at hand has studied the translation strategies used by seven translations of the Holy Quran relating to social etiquette, based on the selection

Abstract The paper describes the process of a literary work’s perception from the perspective of transformations made in Polish translations of H.C. Andersens’s work. The author presents the historical perspective of translating Andersen into Polish in the 19th and 20th century and, based on selected examples, analyzes such essential issues within the realm of artistic translation as translation policy/publishing policy as well as the translator’s culture-formative role and tasks. The analyzed issues also include recent and older translations, the culture of translation and, last but not least

Abstract:

The term “culture-specific vocabulary” appeared in the 1980s. Problems of translating culture-specific terms from one language to another have always been a serious issue for translators. It causes even more problems if the languages being compared belong to different language groups and represent different cultures. Nevertheless, the study of culture-specific vocabulary helps to achieve the adequacy of translation, which in turn helps speakers of different languages and cultures to achieve mutual understanding. The above emphasizes the relevance and timeliness of the study of translation fr

Abstract:

The most common difficulty in translation studies has traditionally been the dilemma between the historical and synchronic approaches in the analysis and description of the culture of translation. On the one hand the culture of translation might be presented as the sum of various kinds of translated texts (repertoire of culture), on the other hand it might be described as the hierarchy of the various types of translations themselves. The first approach assumes plenty of languages for such description, in the latter one suggests only one language for the same representation. A cultural critic f

Abstract:

If one wants to understand translation, it is necessary to look at all its aspects from the psychological to the ideological. And it is necessary to see the process of translation, on the one hand, as a complex of interlinguistic, intralinguistic, and intersemiotic translations, and on the other hand, as a complex of linguistic, cultural, economic, and ideological activities. Translators work at the boundaries of languages, cultures, and societies. They position themselves between the poles of specificity and adaptation in accordance with the strategies of their translational behaviour. They e

Abstract:

This article examines the translation styles of the first chapter of Six Chapters of a Floating Life at three levels using a corpus approach: readability calculations, statistical parameters, and the translation of culture-specific lexis. The translation by Pratt and Jiang has the most annotations and is easiest for the typical English reader to read. With an emphasis on the original language, Sanders' translation demonstrates the translator's goal of translating Chinese culture while veering toward thick translation. Black's translation is particularly unique because the translator frequently

Abstract:

The study aims to examine how machine/AI translation and human translation handle textual cohesion and cultural context in translating culture-specific items (CSIs), using Crying in H-Mart as a case study. It also explores learners' perceptions of cohesion differences between English and Korean translations, considering their implications for teaching cultural translation in the AI era. Based on these findings, the study seeks to propose educational approaches that enhance learners' understanding of CSI translation, bridging the gap between translation strategies and textual cohesion.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to investigate translation strategies that amateur translators use when dealing with culture-specific words and expressions in the context of subtitling translation. Our research focuses on finding the most frequent source-oriented and target-oriented strategies (Pedersen 2011) found in the popular sitcom Still open All Hours. As amateur subtitling is one of the most interesting disciplines in audiovisual translation, it is still one of the most underexplored areas of AVT, which makes it suitable for the present research. Also, cultural references are considered to be

In this article, I seek to advance an understanding of translation that goes beyond treating it as a mere metaphor, as is the way it is often treated in postcolonial and cultural studies. Rather, through a postcolonial feminist lens, I seek to survey and interrogate the complex relationship of racialized and gendered subjects to language, and the implications of translating these lives in a way that makes them intelligible to the West’s hegemonic modernity. After providing an overview of the tensions between linguistic translation and cultural translation, I argue that the racialized gendered

The present paper aims to evidence the literary translation as a cultural bridge between the two countries, Albania and Spain. It is a topic which has interests in terms of literary translation because the literary translation Albanian-Spanish and vice versa is a non-treated topic in our country. Literature is a bridge between the two countries and language possesses all the characteristics of culture, because when it is translated it is produced an exchange of linguistic systems.

This research explores the challenges in translating speech acts, particularly the differences between literal and idiomatic translations. The main research questions are: How do literal and idiomatic translations affect the understanding of speech acts? What role do cultural and contextual factors play in Translation? The study finds that while literal translations work for straightforward, literal meanings, they often need more complex speech acts like requests or commands, which depend on context and culture. Idiomatic translations that consider these factors effectively convey the intended

Abstract Writers use a certain style to create their literary works and translators should transmit such style to the target audience as faithfully as possible. This article is based on the novel Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë and makes a comparative analysis between the two existing Spanish translations – in 1997 by Menchu Gutiérrez López and in 2000 by Elizabeth Power – focusing on the style used by the English author. Although the examples presented through these pages show the translators’ fidelity to the content of the source text, both translations reflect how the target audience could influe

For Chinese English majors, this means they should have the competence to translate traditional Chinese culture well in English. At present, there has been limited research on teaching translation of typical traditional Chinese culture, especially translating its food culture to the world. And recipe, a typical instructional text epitomizing features of its representative cuisine, plays an important role in this field. Given the situation, it is imperative to explore peda
