Summary/Abstract: This paper offers a comparative analysis of five seminal translation theorists like: Roman Jakobson, Eugene Nida, Hans Vermeer, Antoine Berman, and Lawrence Venuti, highlighting their contributions to translation theory. It traces the evolution from linguistically focused models to functionalist and ethical approaches emphasizing cultural differences and translator visibility. Quotations from primary texts illustrate each theorist’s core ideas. The analysis concludes by underscoring the translator's critical role as a mediator balancing linguistic accuracy, functional purpose, and cultural ethics.
