The Civilizational Role of Audiovisual Translation in Enhancing Cross-Cultural Communication and Understanding in a Globalized World

Abstract

The importance of audiovisual translation (AVT) in our globalized world, extends beyond the mere conversion of the language; it is essential to cross-cultural communication to convey the rich tapestry of cultural references, idiomatic expressions, and contextual meanings that characterize any given civilization through the screen. By translating the audiovisual content, translators must navigate the complex interaction of language and culture, ensuring precision and remain sensitive to the expected emotional and aesthetic effect of the source material.This paper, and through a descriptive analytical approach, delves into the cruciality of AVT that serves as a vital tool to promote intercultural understanding, and explores the civilizational facets of its  impact on global audiences.
