Abstract: This paper sets out to explore the various risks involved in translating, and how these risks can be overcome to achieve the ultimate goal of translation. There are risks involved in translating, and the concept of equivalence has often been a complex issue among translation experts and theorists due to the cultural dimension involved in languages. Communication is translation as it is a process of translating an idea or message from one language to another. The researchers noted that managing high risks pose various difficulties in translation. The researcher applied analytical theory and an interpretative approach to arrive at a meaningful and acceptable solution. The risk management in translation came into play as what equivalence represents. Risk management often involves in the planning, concerning strategic decision-making and execution of projects and programmes of the task. The authors observed that the translator tries to minimise risk by focusing on the most important factors that can be avoided possibly because each language sees things differently.
