The concept “Translation” has been examined by many scholars from different perspectives, but little attention has been devoted to the personalities of the translators in their translation works. The concern of this essay is to consider the personalities of the translators of D.O.

It was found that translators’ motive, purpose, language choice, and religious background have an immense influence on their approach to translation.
