| Abstract | ||
| In our modern world there is a widening of the translator's role. Many tasks that were excluded from the realm of translation theories and studies like adaptation, advertisement and website localization, subtitling and dubbing are now in some settings and under certain conditions recognized as part of a translator's duties .Therefore, this paper investigates various forms of accommodation translators resort to while translating a text. Some of these forms of accommodation are purely technical (e.g. the translation of advertisements or websites), stylistic or aesthetic (e.g. the translation of poetry) or even ideological (e.g. the translation of political discourse). Passed is the time of faithfulness, now is the time of diplomacy. It seems that in a globalization era, the translator is called upon to play the role of a mediator or even negotiator rather than that of a pure translator or a walking bilingual dictionary. | ||
