Summary/Abstract: The 21st-century field of Translation Studies is shaped by the forces of globalization, technological advancement, and a growing emphasis on cultural inclusivity. This comprehensive exploration of Translation Studies outlines the evolution of theoretical frameworks, interdisciplinary approaches, and the increasing integration of technology, particularly machine translation (MT) and corpus linguistics. These developments underscore the role of translators as cultural mediators, crucial in fostering multicultural understanding and preserving linguistic diversity. Additionally, the discipline confronts ethical considerations in MT, the challenges of adapting audio-visual content, and the impact of postcolonial and gender studies on translation practices. The ongoing dialogue in Translation Studies reflects a commitment to addressing complex socio-political and cultural issues, with a forward-looking focus on ethical responsibility, inclusivity, and cross-cultural empathy. Translation thus emerges as a powerful tool for intercultural communication, supporting cultural autonomy, and promoting a more interconnected global society.
