Summary/Abstract: Through this work, we do not intend to convey the idea that prejudices or any other kind of judgement will disappear completely, as long as freedom plays an essential role in the age in which we live. Even this sort of broad-mindedness about judging certain groups should be pointed out in an intelligent manner. And without any further doubt, translators and interpreters alike should not be allowed to leave room for interpretation concerning the proper choice of a term. The selection of appropriate terms is also dependent on the translator’s cultural knowledge, which is an advanced level of culture in relation to the language from which it is translated, and in order to achieve this, every translator should be well rooted in society’s contemporary times, because they are, in fact, the brains that adapt most quickly to the new trends.
