Summary/Abstract: The textual nature of translation determines its hybrid nature: it exists as a tension between the original and the receiving culture. Consequently, the translator assumes a responsibility towards both the author and the reader S/he imitates the strategies used in the original in order to generate meaning but, at the same time, keeps a balance between the otherness of the source and its similarity to the target culture.
