The Role of Translation in Heartening World Literature and Associating Cultures
Abstract
As language and culture are closely intertwined and both affect our identities, morals, and perspectives, it may be difficult to communicate efficiently across linguistic borders on the global stage where over thousands of languages are spoken. In these situations, the art of translation becomes an influential tool because it has the potential to bring people across cultures. Translation is an art that necessitates a thorough understanding of the nuances of both the source and destination languages and cultures. In conclusion, the article fully covers the topic of translation as an art form, including the complexity and significance of the process of transferring between cultures. The value of translation in a highly interconnected and integrated through the ages and globalization of the country, including the relationship between languages, is no longer a barrier. The situation often leads to the fact that translators and cultural cooperation become the objects of research by many scientists.
