Abstract:Translation is an intricate process that involves transferring meaning
from one language to another while considering various cultural, linguistic, and
pragmatic factors. However, translators often encounter pragmatic obstacles that affect
the accuracy and effectiveness of their translations. This article examines common
pragmatic problems in translation and presents potential solutions. By understanding
and addressing these challenges, translators can enhance the quality and
communicative effectiveness of their work, ensuring successful cross-cultural
communication.
