THE ROLE OF TRANSLATION IN CULTURAL EXCHANGE BETWEEN NATIONS

Abstract: Translation serves as a vital bridge between nations, allowing cultures to communicate, share values, and understand one another.

This article explores the historical evolution of translation, its influence on cultural exchange, and the challenges translators face in conveying meaning across linguistic and cultural boundaries. Moreover, it highlights the role of modern technologies in translation and their contribution to enhancing global understanding.
