Abstract

The practice of translation requires far more than the simple ability to communicate in two languages. While it is often assumed that bilingualism guarantees accurate translation, the process involves a series of intricate steps. The essence of translation lies in transferring what remains unspoken from one language to another. Words carry memories and their own histories, and no two words ever share an identical meaning. To recreate these subtleties in another language, it is necessary to understand the elements that shaped the original text, deconstruct them, and then reconstruct them within the framework of the target language.
