Abstract
On his book A Textbook of Translation (1988a:103), Peter Newmark has suggested 12 procedures to translate culture-specific items, namely: (1) transference (2) cultural equivalent (3) neutralization (i.e. functional or descriptive equivalent) (4) literal translation (5) label (6) naturalization (7) componential analysis (8) deletion (of redundant stretches of language in non-authoritative texts, especially metaphors and intensifiers) (9) couplet (10) accepted standard translation (11) paraphrase, gloss, notes, etc. and (12) classifier. Apart from few, facts prove that the majority of translators (especially students) do not apply most of these strategies in their translations. They usually resort to literal translation which is only and (according to Ghazalah poor) solution to translate cultural terms. This academic paper aims to explain these Newmarkan procedures in regard to English-Arabic-English translations.
