Editorial: Naturalization as a Core Principle of Translation

Naturalness alone cannot fullyexplain the complexity of translation. The concept of naturalization offers a more comprehensive model by highlighting translation as a dynamic, two-way, adaptive/adoptive process. Through accuracy, adequacy, and naturalization, translation becomes not a mechanical transfer of words, but a living interaction between languages and cultures. Naturalization demonstratesthat translation is not about replacing one language with another, but about creating a new communicative space where meaning remains intact while form evolves.
