Abstract

The study analyzes the complexities in translation, based on the “untranslatability” theory, and the ideas of Wilhelm von Humboldt, E. Sapir, and A. Meyye. It emphasizes that a translator must not only transfer words from one language to another but also consider cross-cultural adaptation, preserving both meaning and style of the original text.

Keywords

Translation, equivalence, literal translation, free translation, linguistic art, cross-cultural adaptation, Humboldt, Sapir, Meyye.
