TRANSLATION AS A WAY OF PERCEIVING A FOREIGN CULTURE

Abstract

This article discusses the main problems of translation and the importance of foreign culture of the given language. Translation is a literal transfer of information into a foreign language and a cultural rethinking of all the facts that come from two participants in communication when interacting with a translation specialist. A translator should not ignore the semantic differences between languages when working on a translation - this applies to both a live dialogue in an informal setting and professional joint work on a project. Component analysis is aimed at a deep understanding of the meaning of the content of a text or oral message and its competent interpretation, accessible for understanding in the target language. In this case, the cultural features of the language are erased, and only the informative content of the original message comes to the fore. In translation work, it is important to take into account the correct interpretation of not only specific words and phrases, but also the content of each sentence as a whole in the context of the general meaning of the material. A linguist must study the cultural nuances of the target language, understand the specifics of working with a specific audience and clearly define the purpose of the information presented in written or oral form. It is important to take into account that there is always a difference in the semantic meaning of various cultural terms, and a competent translator in most cases can only approximately interpret what is said in another language, avoiding gross errors, inaccuracies and interpretation of concepts in the opposite meaning.
