Additionally, the study identifies current achievements and shortcomings in translation practices, providing insights into their development. Novelty: This study offers a unique perspective on the simultaneous progress and decline within the field of translation. It highlights the paradox of increased practical application alongside reduced theoretical exploration, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to translation studies.
