Tradução e o contexto cultural: será que o dicionário basta?

Abstract

The large number of factors that intervene in translation from Hebrew is broader than in most contemporary languages. Over and above the historical layers that constitute the language, the profusion and diversity of cultural components pertaining now to the colloquial Hebrew point to the translators difficulty in fulfilling his/her purpose when relying only on dictionaries. Through examples some of these components are pointed out.
