Knowledge, Communication, and Translation — Knowledge Translation Studies at the Intersection
Knowledge transfer relies on the accuracy and effectiveness of translation. The process of translation is also a process of knowledge construction, where translators convert the knowledge structure from the source language into the target language, facilitating cross-language knowledge transfer. Translation involves knowledge representation in different language systems and cultural contexts, making it a significant field for studying knowledge production and representation. Despite the popularity of knowledge translation studies among scholars, criticism arises due to its lack of systematic definition of knowledge. This research starts from defining and categorizing knowledge, elucidating the relationship between knowledge, communication, and translation, thereby clarifying the main content of knowledge translation studies. It explores the future direction of knowledge translation studies, contributing towards establishing a more effective international communication system for China, and assisting China in achieving international discourse power commensurate with its comprehensive national strength and international status.
Key words： Knowledge; Knowledge Transfer; Communication; Translation
