Abstract
Translation is a complex and essential process that goes beyond word-for-word conversion. It involves transferring meaning between cultures, encompassing social, religious, and linguistic nuances. Observations about misunderstandings arising from a failure to understand the intention of a speaker is particularly relevant to the context of translation. This highlights the need to examine the efficiency of machine translation in achieving functional equivalence when translating cultural language expressions, as this poses critical challenges.
