A scientific study of translation problems and their solutions
Keywords:
translation industry, numerous problems, IraqAbstract
As in any field, there are numerous problems in the translation industry; some of these problems are faced by translators, while others are faced by clients. Some problems can be considered structural issues, as they affect the translation process itself. This research aims to present a theoretical framework regarding the most significant problems and challenges faced by translators during the translation process, clarify the concept of translation and its types, and study the differences between literary, academic, and scientific translation. The researcher employed a descriptive research methodology, relying on previous studies and articles available online, and through this approach, the most important findings and recommendations were derived.
