Abstract

The translation of economical terminology is an intricate subject matter, especially when it is placed in the context of globalization. It presupposes sharing values, attitudes and identities. That is to say, it places two cultures into contact. This impact presupposes an acculturating process which is to make the difference in assessing the quality of translation. This is a difficult process but, if the users of economical terminology get through a process of adjustment leaving behind the cultural traits, they may reach to foreignization (an alienation from homeland’s cultural values) which is not the aim of our research paper.
