Abstract

This study employs CiteSpace knowledge graph analysis software to conduct a comprehensive search in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database using keywords such as "Chinese intangible cultural heritage (ICH)" and "English translation". Through visualized analysis of keywords such as: co-occurrence, clustering patterns, publishing institutions, and timeline maps in ICH translation research, aims to explore current research status, hotspots, thematic focuses, and future development trends of English translation research on ICH in China. The analysis reveals that research on the English translation of ICH exhibits a growing trend toward cross-cultural and interdisciplinary integration, with predominant hotspots focusing on "English translation", "translation studies", "cultural transmission", and "translation strategies". These findings are intended to provide valuable references for both theoretical exploration and practical applications in ICH translation and international communication.
