This study explores the widespread manipulation of representations of history through translation and suggests strategies to combat this manipulation. Beginning with the introduction, we highlight the important role that translation plays in our understanding of history, and the extent to which manipulation or distortion can distort the past. Research focuses on identifying (and combating) manipulation in historical representation. The main methods to achieve this goal are qualitative in nature and based on descriptive analysis and analytical tools. By reviewing the literature, this study reveals the historical context and mechanisms of such manipulations. Through thematic and discourse analysis, the study uncovers patterns and arguments that suggest ways to combat manipulation in historical translation. Finally, we also argue for greater transparency, accountability, and critical purpose in translation methods to preserve authentic histories and promote ethical translation practices.
