Abstract:

The State Translation Program plays a vital role in strengthening China’s international communications capabilities. Translation practices at the local level, deeply rooted in distinctive regional cultures, constitute a fundamental component of a country’s state translation practice. It is these diverse regional cultures that fashion the unified identity of the national culture. Regional cultural cognition not only directly affects the implementation and effectiveness of the Regional Translation Program, but also indirectly influences national cognitive behavior, which affects the State Translation Program. This paper clarifies the connections between the concepts of regional cultural cognition and those underlying the State Translation Program, analyzes the differences between the translator and their audience in terms of cultural recognition, and proposes countermeasures to regional cultural cognition in the State Translation Program. The goal of this research is to enhance the role of regional culture in the State Translation Program from a cognitive perspective, guiding the Regional Translation Program to assume more responsibilities within the State Translation Program and thereby improving China’s international communication capacities in all directions.
