TRANSLATION AS INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
The translation should be seen as a cultural phenomenon, since at the act of translation not only the borders of both languages are crossed but also the cultural boundaries. During this act the communication between both cultures is realized, what allows to judge about similarities and differences between them. In this article issues are examined arising from the intersection of the conceptual systems of both cultures in contact, in which the general, universal elements are transmitted, whereas the specific and the discriminatory ones are borrowed or adapted.
