چکیده:
In this research, an attempt has been made to achieve a correct understanding of the interactive relationship between language and culture by taking a new look at the position of the translator as an intercultural mediator (1) and relying on anthropological theories such as Sapir (2) and Whorf (3), so that our understanding of the concept of reality is influenced. Therefore, for translators acting as cultural mediators, a model for better understanding reality can be drawn so that with its help, they can understand the cultural reality of the text in the source language in the best possible way and create it in another language (target language) through a concept production close to that same language. Translation is a process that requires several skills to achieve a result close to the source text. The presence of only one skill in translators distances them from considering the hidden cultural aspects in the text and makes achieving a good translation impossible. The required skills of a translator are a set of factors that cause the cultural realities of the text to be considered in the translation process. This article refers to explaining the role of the translator as a cultural mediator and investigates the process of reaching this position from the perspective of translation theorists.

In traditional translation teachings, culture is considered a type of civilization in a specific time period that is related to specific factors such as history, literature, or customs; however, in the past decade, with the formation of the translator's role as an intercultural mediator, traditional approaches to culture in translation have lost their effectiveness; because the original concern of the translator in this position is no longer the accurate translation of word meanings and the relative understanding of the cultural elements of the source language, but rather more of an effort to reach the truth present in the source language text so that, by considering the culture of the target language, another text can be created which, in its ideal form, is that same truth of the source language without deficiency and, in other stages, the closest to it.
