Abstract EN

Translation is a form of intellectualism, the yearning for the other, and the intellectual and spiritual connection with him.

The translator stands on the border between two strange cultural systems, between two nationalities, one of which is ignorant of the other.This ignorance constitutes an aggressive alien phobia, and the mediator tries to turn the unknown into the known, the feared to the desirable, the distant to the near, and the enemy to a friend.

However, the translator may not be a faithful messenger between the reader and the text, if he is not honest with his work; if he does not investigate objectivity and impartiality, he shall act according to his national and intellectual prejudices; thus distorting the original text and acting in its formulations and phrases in a way that affects the meaning.

It's the translation centered around race.

Whatever the case, literal or accurate translation is utterly impossible given the difference between different language systems.

However, the translator can produce a text close to the original, if stripped of its biases.

This article attempts to study the possibilities of translation work and the limits of objectivity.
