On characteristics of translator-media

A medium refers to a variety of means for information communication. In intercultural communication, a translator functions as a medium that goes between people of different cultures. How does the translator play the role as a medium? What are the characteristics that distinguish a translator medium from other media, such as printing media, electronic media and others? This paper analyses the features of a translator medium in terms of intercultural communication studies. The author believes that in cross culture communication, on the one hand, a translator has social responsibilities and certain subjective initiative in communicative strategies, and on the other hand, his/her intercultural activities will be influenced by political, economic, and cultural factors.
