    Skopos theory focuses on the purpose of a translation rather than literal meaning, stating that a translation's goal and function in the target culture should determine how it is completed. The theory emphasizes that translations are made for a specific purpose and audience in the target culture, so translators must consider factors like the intended function, expected readers, and relevant conventions rather than strictly adhering to the source text.
