Translation is more than the mere conversion of words from one language to another; it serves as a bridge between cultures, ensuring that ideas, traditions, and values are conveyed accurately and meaningfully. The study emphasizes the importance of balancing fidelity to the original text with cultural sensitivity to enhance mutual understanding in an increasingly interconnected world. By examining real-world examples and notable literary translations, this paper reinforces the idea that translators play a critical role in fostering global communication and preserving cultural heritage.
