Abstract:
This chapter presents the various categorizations of cultural elements in order to codify their rendering. It also presents the various techniques used in their rendering, as in many other cases. Examples are given based on typologies, personal names, place names, flora, fauna, customs, material culture, etc., and specific translation exercises are carried out in different languages using text excerpts. At the same time, techniques such as borrowing, calquing, transposition, conversion, substitution, equivalence, etc. are applied to specific texts, after first being presented in their theoretical dimension.
