Translation is a fundamental pillar of global diplomacy and international relations, facilitating communication, resolving conflicts, and promoting mutual understanding across linguistic and cultural divides. This article examines the evolution of translation in diplomacy, from historical treaties to modern institutional practices, highlighting the translator’s multifaceted role as a linguistic expert, cultural mediator, and ethical gatekeeper. Challenges such as linguistic complexity, cultural nuances, and ethical dilemmas are explored, alongside the impact of AI-assisted translation in enhancing efficiency while addressing its limitations. The study underscores the indispensability of skilled human translators in maintaining neutrality and fostering global cooperation, advocating for a balanced integration of human expertise and technological advancements.
