Abstract

This article explores the translation of Eastern literature into Western languages as a powerful means of fostering intercultural communication. Translation is not merely a linguistic operation but a cultural act that involves the transmission of worldview, values, and artistic traditions. By making Eastern literary masterpieces accessible to Western readers, translators play a crucial role in promoting global literary diversity and mutual cultural understanding.
