Translation studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the process and practice of translating texts from one language to another. It explores various aspects, including linguistic, cultural, and social factors that influence translation. Researchers in this field analyze different translation methods, strategies, and the impact of translation on communication and understanding between cultures. The field also encompasses the study of translation theory, which seeks to establish principles and guidelines for effective translation. Scholars may investigate the roles of translators, interpreters, and translation technology, as well as the ethical considerations involved in translating sensitive or complex materials.
