This paper discusses cross cultural dissimilarities in the translation process and how it affects the translation accuracy and communicative efficiency. Translation is a form of negotiation between cultures as well as the linguistic transfer, and the values, traditions, world views, and communicative norms of the two countries affect the strategies of translation. This paper examines cultural obstacles, expressions that are specific to different cultures, and practicalities that exist in translation. The role of the translator as a cultural mediator is also given particular attention, as well as the significance of the cultural competence in promoting the correspondence between the source and the target texts.
