This study investigates the translation strategies used in translating 25 cultural references and expressions in Mourid Barghouty’s autobiography ‘I Was Born There, I Was Born Here’ (2009) from Arabic into English. The results of this research may assist the trainee translators to improve their understanding of the effect of culture on the quality of the translation. The researchers adopt two theoretical models: Venuti’s domestication and foreignization (1998) and Ivir’s (1987) procedures for the translation of cultural references. This study tries to find out to what extent the translation has accounted to render the original cultural bound expressions maintaining their meaning in the target language. The researchers adopt a qualitative research since the data analysis is based on analytical and descriptive approaches. After analyzing the selected data, the researchers find out that the domestication strategy has been the most frequently-used strategy at (52%), and foreignization comes second at (48%). The procedure of substitution has been used the most (seven times), followed by literal translation and borrowing with the same number of times (six times), then defining the elements of culture (four times), then omission (twice). Lexical creation and addition have not been used at all. The findings also show that the translator has managed to capture the intended meaning sought by the original author in most extracts. The researchers recommend that translators of culture-bound expressions should be aware of the two involved cultures. This helps them to determine the cultural context in which a text takes place, so they can achieve the closest equivalents in the target text.

Literal Translation

While the interpretation of the Quran emphasizes the importance of an understanding of the causes, issues and incidents in relation to revelation as well as knowing its time and place, the translation studies concern with the roles of context in ensuring a precise translation. Context is regarded as one of the crucial parts in translating metaphorical connotations as it captures the meaning that transcends its literal translation. This study aims to highlight the importance of context in achieving an exact translation, especially in translating the Quranic metaphorical connotationsinto the Malay language based on semantic equivalence between the source and target text to the closest possible to the meaning of the original Arabic text. This is achieved by an analysis of the descriptive, analytical and comparative methods of selected copies of translations by Mahmoud Younis, Abdullah Basmeih and Zaini Dahalan. The findings show that these translators pay special attention to the importance of context in the translation of the Quranic metaphorical connotations. Evidences also show some flaws in the delivery of the intended meaning in the target language when these translations rely solely on the texts’ literal translation, consequently causing a diversion from the intended meaning of the Quranic message. Therefore, this study suggests that it is not reliable for a study of the Quran nor for the reader of the target language to depend on one absolute translation only, but to refer to and compare different copies of the translation in order to reach the precise connotation. إذا كانت التفاسير القرآنية تهتم بمعرفة أسباب النزول للآيات القرآنية والقضايا والحوادث المتعلقة بها وكذلك وقت ومكان نزول الآية القرآنية بغية الوصول إلى معرفة تفسيرها وفهمها فهما صحيحا، فإن دراسات الترجمة تعتني بدور السياق ) context ( في تحقيق الترجمة الححيحة يع د السياق اانبا م اجووان الي جب ااننتبا إليها نند ترجمة الدانانت المجازية نظرا انشتمالها نلى المعنى الذي يتجاوز المعنى الحقيقي، والذي ان يمك نقله نقلا حرفيا، وإان لفسد المعنى المراد يستهدف هذا البحث إلى إبراز أهمية السياق في تحقيق ال ترجمة الححيحة، نظرا لأهمية مراناته، خاصة في ترجمة الدانانت المجازية القرآنية إلى اللغة الملايوية بوصفها محاولة التقري بالمعنى، ان تبديل له، المبنية نلى نلاقة التكافؤ الدانلي بين النص المحدر، وهو النص القرآني العربي، والنص الهدف، وهو النص المترام إلى اللغة الملايوية ويتم هذا البحث باختيار النسخ الي ترجمها محمود يونس، والشيخ نبد الله بسَميه، والحاج زيني دحلان للقيام بالدراسة التحليلية النموذاية تتم معاجوة الموضوع في هذا البحث بالمنهج الوصفي والمنهج التحليلي والمنهج المقارن فم خلال تحليل بعض النماذج، تلاحظ الباحثة أن المترجمين يرانون السياق في ترجمتهم الدانانت المجازية القرآنية، لكنه ان يخلو م بعض القحور الي تحتاج إلى إنادة النظر فيها؛ منها أن بعض النحوص القرآنية ترجموها ترجمة حرفية مما أدى إلى ضياع المعنى المراد في الرسالة القرآنية لذلك توصي الدراسة بضرورة المقارنة بين التراام المختلفة لأال الوصول إلى المعنى المقحود في الرسالة القرآنية، وان يعتمد القارئ نلى ترجمة واحدة مجردة

The teaching process cannot be simplified to definitions of the best teachers as those possessing certain desirable teaching behaviours and skills (Katz, 2002). Although there are numerous factors that significantly influence learning and teaching, one might agree that specific teaching roles dominantly determine the quality of preschool teaching processes and learning outcomes. Furthermore, two equally important dimensions that characterize teaching roles, as linked with concepts of identity, are professional and personal dimensions. Therefore, one might be wondering: Who are contemporary preschool teachers? How do they define their self and identity? What determines identity that preschool teachers describe as theirs? Consequently, how do these identities influence the quality of process of early and preschool care and education? Answering these questions is no easy task since the concept of identity is defined in various ways in the more general literature (Beijaard, Meijer, & Verloop, 2004). This chapter is focused on an analysis of preschool teacher identity from three specific aspects. First, since all identity models emphasize the cultural context within which preschool teachers' identity develops and its crucial role, contemporary changes in preschool teacher roles and a new study program called Early and Preschool Teacher Education and Care are analysed in the Croatian context. Secondly, in order to follow contemporary literature, theoretical models of identity are presented. Afterwards, based on such models, the personality traits and temperament of research participants are analysed within the context of preschool teacher identity. Finally, the chapter's third section analyses preschool teachers' values, motives, and narratives.

In accordance with translation, the metaphors must be translated very carefully in order to avoid misunderstanding. Larson (1984:250) states that If metaphors from source language are translated literally into the target language, they will often be completely misunderstood. Because the translation cannot simply reproduce, or be, the original. In fact, in the folklores there are still literally in translating the text. The aims of this study were to describe the realization of translation strategies in the translation live metaphors in the Sumatera Folklores. The research was conducted by using qualitative design. The data of this study were live metaphors in the Sumatera Folklores. The source of data were 15 folklores in Sumatera. The data were collected through documentary technique and the instrument for collecting the data was documentary sheet. The technique of data analysis was descriptive. The findings of this study revealed that the realization of translation strategies in live metaphors in the Sumatera Folklores into English by applying two process, namely: Single Strategy (91.83%), Double Strategies (8.16%). Metaphors often become the problem in translation and in accordance with translation, the metaphors must be translated from source language (SL) into target language (TL) in order to avoid misunderstanding. Keywords: Translation Strategies, Live Metaphor, Sumatera language, Folklores

Conducting qualitative research can be seen as a developing communication act through which researchers engage in a variety of conversations. Articulating the results of qualitative data analysis results can be an especially challenging part of this scholarly discussion for qualitative researchers. To help guide investigators through this difficult communicative process, the authors suggest Grice’s (1989) Conversational Maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner as general guidelines to follow when formulating and presenting findings in qualitative research products as well as basic assumptions to guide readers when judging the quality of result representations.
