This article examines the translator’s professional role and personal mastery in the process of translation. The translator is not only a linguistic mediator but also an intellectual and creative figure who ensures the accurate and artistic transfer of meaning between cultures.

The results indicate that translation requires not only knowledge but also intuition, empathy, and aesthetic sensitivity, making the translator a bridge between nations and a creator of intercultural understanding.
