Translation is a key component in fostering intercultural communication, preserving linguistic diversity, and promoting global understanding. This article explores the foundational theories of translation and critically analyzes their practical applications. By examining both historical and contemporary approaches, this paper aims to bridge the gap between theoretical postulations and the real-world demands of translation. Specific attention is paid to equivalence, translation strategies, and the impact of context and culture on translation outcomes.
