Translation is a significant action in the contemporary world and has become a compound approach of language surveys, being the primary standard for accomplishing communication. It is a complicated process, which incorporates faith, knowledge, arts, ethics, law, customs, and other capacities gained by man as a citizen. Catford delineates translation as "a process of transferring a source-language text into a target language text" (Mares, 2012). In this way, translation is an activity achieved in languages. Furthermore, Catford differentiated between partial and complete translation, focusing on the degree to which the source language content is submitted to the translation process. Culture is a sort of conduct, faith, attitudes, and customs, which are contributed by a gathering of individuals and impact every part's conduct and translations of the implications of others' conduct. Culture applies a substantial effect on language. In translating words and expressions, the social foundation is fundamental, so a translator without understanding the way of life cannot decipher well (Guessabi, 2013). Arabic and English have a place with two distinct backgrounds and diverse language categories. The former is a Semitic language, though the latter is Indo-European. They are diverse grammatically, morphologically, phonemically, and even meaningfully. Along these lines, they are socially dissimilar and outsiders (Elkateb, 2016). The essential significance of this paper is to point out some cultural issues in translation, such as geographical, religious, social, and material ones between Arabic and English languages, supporting them with some examples.
