Abstract
The process of translation fundamentally depends on the translator’s expertise in clearing up the intricate relationship between language and culture. Its primary purpose is the faithful transfer of meaning while accounting for the complexity inherent in multifaceted interactions. This study explores the ways in which translation influences cultural identity and promotes cross-cultural communication. A collection of cultural materials, including translated literature and media texts, was examined via a qualitative descriptive approach. Since language lies at the heart of culture, translation must address their dynamic interconnection especially in today’s globalized context. The paper explores how factors such as ideology, politics, and economic affect the translators’ decisions and shape cultural exchange. By foregrounding asymmetrical power relations, the present study highlights translation’s dual role as a medium for bridging cultures and as a mechanism that can perpetuate global power dynamics. Results suggest that translation has the potential to act as a mechanism for maintaining cultural diversity while simultaneously reinforcing cultural hierarchies. This duality underscores the pivotal role of translators in balancing of fidelity, cultural authenticity and the expectations of the target audience.
