By targeting intellectually curious and academically inclined readers, Cultural Challenges in Translating Asian and Middle Eastern Texts illuminates the intricate relationship between language and culture in translation studies. Specifically designed for postgraduate students and researchers interested in translation studies, this volume dives deep into the cultural nuances of the Asian and Middle Eastern contexts, areas that have mainly remained underexplored. However, its insights are not confined to these groups alone, offering valuable perspectives for anyone intrigued by translation. The book challenges conventional approaches with nine chapters of groundbreaking research and encourages a comprehensive understanding of how cultural distinctions influence translation. Cultural Challenges in Translating Asian and Middle Eastern Texts not only fills a critical void in translation studies literature by focusing on non-Western cultures but also empowers its readers to approach translation with a heightened awareness of cultural sensitivity.
