The Relationship between Translation and Cultural Transition in Iran at Nassereddin Shah Qajar period

The purpose of this essay is to assess the relationship between translation and cultural transmission in the era of Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar. According to the historical analysis method, it can be said that Iran faced a different situation in the peripheral world in the 19th century; Various political, philosophical, and industrial developments moved east, and translation in this context was meant as a channel of cultural transmission that conveyed the achievement of the origin society to the target communities (Iran and other Muslim societies). But this was not a simple transition, especially with the cultural groups of Eastern societies becoming aware of the nature of European developments and texts resulting from a dual form of "compromise" that persisted for a long time, between translators and some government institutions. There were various criteria for translation selected for translation, the main reasons being internal and external criteria. Internal factors were determined by the effects, norms, and patterns that they presented. This is related to the motivations available for each translator. External criteria also related to the issue of political power and its role in facilitating translations and selecting the type of work.
