The Analysis of Equivalence at The Level of Words Between Source Text and Translation based on Baker’s Theory: Ayatollah Khamenei’s Lectures on Palestine

The concept of equivalence in translation has long been a bone of contention. This article provides a number of examples of situations in which producing equivalence in translation may be a challenge, e.g., when faced with culture-specific words, differences in expressive meaning between languages, differences in form, or words not (yet) lexicalized in the target language. Some of the strategies of producing what the translator considers equivalence include using a cultural substitution, a loanword, a loan translation, a less expressive word, a paraphrase, or an explanation. The translator may even choose to omit an aspect of meaning which, if transposed into the target language, would merely distract the reader from the key message. overall, it seems that equivalence in translation is not something that exists, but something the translator has to create.If the language is a set of names used for naming, then language users can replace the Arabic name with a Persian name that conveys the meaning. If the language is similar to what has been said, learning a new language will be easy, but anyone who has learned a language has realized that languages are not just a collection of nouns, and that language concepts can be different from concepts in another language.
