Authors

Abstract

With the growth of social,cultural and religious exchanges in the world, the translation of religious-Islamic texts into German has been spreading in Iran.In this way,there is a special sensitivity in translation that the translators face and difficulties which are sometimes insolvable.This sensitivity involves both the structure and content of the texts, because errors and mistakes in the translation of religious texts transmits the irresponsibility and carelessness of the translator with respect to religious concepts. Regarding the importance of confirmation with the original Islamic texts and the difficulties in this domain,this research tries to investigate these problems theoretically using library research. Furthermore, using field study on investigating the experiments of prominent translators in the domain of translating religious texts, practical solutions and suggestions are presented which can be used to translate these kinds of texts. In this way,the search for the root of words in Islam and Christianity are also considered.
