Cultural Challenges in Translating Asian and Middle Eastern Texts delves into the complex interplay of language and culture in the field of translation studies. This book is tailored for postgraduate students and researchers, offering a deep dive into the often-neglected cultural nuances of Asian and Middle Eastern contexts. However, its insights are valuable to anyone intrigued by the intricacies of translation. Through nine chapters of groundbreaking research, this volume challenges conventional approaches and encourages a comprehensive understanding of how cultural distinctions shape the translation process. By focusing on non-Western cultures, this book fills a critical gap in translation studies literature and empowers readers to approach translation with heightened cultural sensitivity.
