Understanding the act of translation is to analyze it as an integral part of the power relationships in which countries and their languages find themselves and consequently replace it in the context of the international hierarchy. This means breaking with the illusion that translation is supposedly neutral and defined as the transposition of a text from one language to another in the framework of an “equal linguistic exchange”, in other words, as a kind of horizontal transfer. Translation questions linguistic inequality and is an important stake in the struggle for symbolic, cultural and literary legitimacy of a specific language and country. To translate is to view culture in its relationship with other cultures.
