The purpose of conducting this study is to identify and handle the problems arising from translating conversational words and phrases rooted in culture from English into Kurdish and vice versa. To achieve the objectives of the current research, source language conversational texts associated with greetings, politeness terms, kinship terms, address terms and words and phrases used on different occasions are translated into their counterparts in the target language. The results obtained from the translations show that translating cultural concepts is problematic and burdensome, and the problems identified result from cultural differences between the two languages and from literal translation which often leads to unnatural and incomprehensible expressions although this technique is used to borrow a source language expression. The results also indicate that translating culturally-bound conversational words and phrases requires good knowledge and mastery of both languages and cultures and proper use of various translation techniques. This research paper is an attempt to identify the problems that arise in translating culturally-specific conversational words and phrases from English into Kurdish and vice versa. It also aims to find out effective ways of overcoming the problem through implementing appropriate techniques for translating culturally-loaded words and phrases associated with greetings, terms of address, politeness terms, family relationship, in both languages.

Mo Yan’s novel Red Sorghum is well known for its creative and initiative usage of metaphors. When it is translated into English, the translator has to evaluate the cultural differences between Chinese and English. The current study takes the translation of metaphors in Red Sorghum as an example to illustrate how cultural elements influence translation. The representative examples selected hereby were analyzed on the basis of the Relevance Theory and at the same time different cultural elements were taken into account to provide solid evidence. This essay proposes that translations of metaphors in Red Sorghum can be divided into four types: from metaphor to simile, from metaphor to metaphor with the tenor and vehicle unchanged, replacing the vehicle, deleting the vehicle. In order to facilitate target readers’s inferential process and help them establish the optimal relevance, the translator has to deliberate the disparities of the cultures in the source language and target language and then demonstrate the appropriate ostensive stimuli. No matter what measures the translator takes, it can not be sepearated from the corresponding cultural elements.

Data Source

This article analyzes message switching, idiomatic expressions, characteristics of idioms, idiomatic forms, and Quranic idioms. The data source of this research is 28 idiomatic expressions in the Quran. The method used is content analysis using a lexical, grammatical, and Arabic stylistic approach. Idiomatic expression is a form of combination of words whose meaning is not the same as the meaning of each word that forms the combination. This article will analyze idiomatic patterns in the Quran whether the Quran tends to use verbal phrase idioms, nominal phrase idioms, prepositional idioms, clause idioms, sentence idioms, and idioms in Arabic translated to non-idioms in Indonesian. Equivalents for idioms in Arabic are sought from among the idioms in Indonesian whereas non-idioms in Arabic are translated as idioms in Indonesian. Quranic idioms mentioned in this article are idioms found in the Quran. In Arabic tasybih baligh (the eloquent analogy) is a very sophisticated language style, there is nothing more sophisticate than tasybih baligh. The conclusion of this article is that the translation or transfer of the meaning of sentences in the source language (SL) into the target language (TL) is much easier than transferring the meaning of surface structures which are sometimes complex, have multiple interpretations, and difficult to understand. Translations of the Quranic verses are more likely to use a faithful translation approach, namely a translation that is faithful to the linguistic form of the source language (SL).
