of communication between the source and the translation receptor.
Translation as intercultural communication involves much more than
simply converting words from one language to another. It requires
understanding and interpreting cultural nuances, values, and perspectives
to ensure that the message is not only linguistically accurate but also
culturally appropriate. Languages are deeply rooted in the histories,
traditions, and social norms of the communities that speak them, and
translation serves as a bridge between these diverse cultural landscapes.

Translators must be sensitive to the cultural contexts of both the source


and target languages. A literal translation may fail to convey the intended
meaning if it does not take into account cultural differences, such as
idiomatic expressions, humor, or customs. Successful intercultural
communication through translation requires the translator to interpret
both the explicit and implicit meanings embedded in the text, ensuring
that the message resonates with the target audience while maintaining its
original intent.

Moreover, translation plays a vital role in breaking down cultural barriers


and fostering mutual understanding in a globalized world. Whether in
literature, media, diplomacy, or business, translation helps to facilitate the
flow of ideas and dialogue between people of different cultures. In this
way, translation becomes an essential tool for promoting intercultural
communication, enhancing connections, and fostering collaboration
across cultural divides.
