Abstract

In today’s world where the trade of commercials is opened between many countries from all over the world has been on the continuous development from time to time, which leads to the vital play of communication between people and people from other countries causing so many problems in understanding to each other. So, the important roles of translation have been available more and more specifically and initially and the demands that requested to satisfy the need in a number of translators and interpreters in more increasingly and more well-trained. This demands the high intellectual levels in every translator in order to overcome a various number of language barrier problems as well as to solve as many problems appearing in all types of documents as possible. And one of the most difficult challenges, according to many translators in case of doing the translation between two contrary languages, especially to transfer some unable-to-translate words, means untranslatable words – so-called untranslatability. And this is the reason for our paper.
