Summary/Abstract: We aim to discuss in this article about the link between translation and linguistic stasis, more precisely for the Christian orthodox translations from French into Romanian. This type of linguistic stasis is present mainly in Romanian culture unlike other francophone western cultures. Therefore, the translator anxious to integrate into a tradition of translations of this kind is obliged to respect the lexical and cultural constraints of the language of arrival.
