Abstract
This study sheds light on the relationship of translation with culture and the cultural problems within translation. It tackles the role of translation in culture and how to solve its translation problems. Moreover, English and Arabic are the core subject of the study. Since there are two different languages, differences between them appear vividly, forming problematic gaps which must be solved by the translator.
Depending on the importance of culture, language can be affected and influenced to the fact that language develops its aspect according to the development of environment we live in. Thus, language represents the way of interaction and communication with others. Many questions are raised here and discussed, showing up some perspectives of the linguistic theorists on this field.
In this study, a broad analysis focuses on the cultural gaps, problems of culture in translation and the ways of solution the translator produces to the text. At last, this study aims to show the relationship between language and culture and how culture can affect language. On the long run, language and culture are strongly correlated.
