This course offers a comprehensive exploration of contemporary translation theories and aims to bridge the gap between traditional translation methodologies and rapidly evolving digital tools that are shaping the future of the translation industry. It begins with a historical perspective, tracing the development of key translation theories from classical approaches to modern models. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical paradigms such as equivalence, functionalism, scope theory, and cultural approaches to translation.
