Annotation. This article explores the fundamental problems encountered in the
process of translation. It highlights the key linguistic and cultural challenges that
translators face, including lexical, grammatical, stylistic, cultural, and pragmatic
issues. Through relevant examples and theoretical insights, the paper emphasizes the
importance of context, cultural awareness, and communicative intent in achieving
accurate and effective translation. The discussion aims to contribute to a deeper
understanding of translation as a complex act of cross-cultural communication rather
than a simple linguistic operation.
