Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate several cultural aspects regarding the changes and differences in translation and the specialized terminology used in medical business. The first part of this study accommodates the reader with the general background of the terminology issues faced by a translator. The reader discovers that the practice of translating is an old one, but the studies of translation are new. Furthermore, s/he becomes accustomed with concepts such as “word-for-word” vs. “sense-for-sense”, the influence of Dryden, Dolet and Tytler, the problem of equivalence in Jakobson’s view, Nida’s adaptation and methods, Newmark’s semantic and communicative translation or Vinay’s and Darbelnet changes in translation. The last part of this paper consists in tackling the issues raised by the translation of specialized texts, in order to emphasize the difficulties faced by translators.
