Abstract :Literary translation is closely linked to the act of interpretation; interpretation in fact precedes the very act of translation. Schulte points out that: "Interpretation in itself is the act of translation, therefore, the concept of translation should be anchored in a very simple recognition; all acts of communication are acts of translation whether we try to explain an idea or whether we try to relate an exciting experience to another person.” 3 Many of the words have an evident meaning, but the way they are strung in sequence in a literary text, especially in a rich or inventive one, confers on these words a well-defined type of meaning.Keywords : Literary Text Translations, Cultural Barriers
