Abstract

Culture“, „source“ and “target culture“ are important notions applied in translation studies. However, at least sometimes the fact seems to be neglected that the notion of culture is much discussed and that there exists a myriad of definitions of what “culture” is supposed to be about. In the article at hand different definitions and notions of culture are analyzed with regard to their usefulness in translation studies didactics and instruments are elaborated for the conceptualization of culture in translator training at universities.
