Abstract

       Different cultures of humankind influence their views and perceptions of society. This principle is vital in the translation process, and the translator aims at conveying the message of the source text (ST) to the target text (TT) accurately and understandably for the readers. Therefore, every translator should have some theoretical knowledge about how to deal with different strategies of translating Culture-Specific Items (CSI) and use appropriate methods. In translation, CSI are common to all languages, nevertheless they are unique to the culture of the source text (ST). In this paper, some CSI in the Mongolian translation of Dubliners by James Joyce, which comprises of 15 short stories, have been analyzed by using Newmark’s model of CSI. In translation, universal words do not cause any particular issues because it is usually easy to find their equivalents in the TT. On the other hand, cultural vocabularies are difficult to translate and therefore they belong to the group of non-equivalent lexis.
