Translation is the re-expression of thoughts and motivation of the author or the speaker from the source language into the target language. In translation, the skill of understanding thoughts and motivations is regarded as important as adherence to style. Translation should be in such a way to affect the listener or reader. Here, as one of the most important elements in understanding text, context plays an important role in understanding the text. According to the theory of language context, meaning is examined based on the relation of proximity and substitution. The proximity relation is defined as the relation between words and the relation of a language element with other elements of the language. The substitution relation is defined as the relation of one word with other words that can be used instead of it, or can replace it. The present article examines the translation of political texts within the theoretical framework of linguistic context based on "Al-Taraf Al-Esraieli, Jazorahva Hesada". It also discusses linguistic context as well as proximity and substitution relations that affect the process of translation.
