The activity of translation, which is as old as the history of mankind, has enabled communication between people belonging to different languages and cultures, while at the same time developing the target language and realising cultural transfer. Through translations, the target audience has the opportunity to get to know a different culture and learns to look at the world from different perspectives. Readers are also introduced to different language and stylistic styles. Thus, members of target audience broaden their horizons in every sense by questioning their own language and culture. With the transformation that took place in translation studies in the 80s with the introduction of the cultural paradigm (cultural turn) by Basnett and Lefevere, not only an intercultural perspective, but also the fact that translation is a social phenomenon began to come to the fore in translation studies. In the 90s, culture-oriented approaches and studies started to be carried out. However, the sociological discussion of the concepts of interculturalism, multiculturalism and transculturalism brings up the issue of investigating whether the projections of these phenomena are also seen in translation and whether they add a different dimension to translation. This study aims to address the cultural dimension of translation through German and Turkish language pairs. In addition, the gains of transcultural perspective in translation will be analysed.
