The theoretical framework of this study was based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory. Initially, face threatening acts (FATs) were identified from the original English version and then politeness strategies in both original English and Persian translation were examined. The results showed that the politeness strategies: bald on record, positive and negative politeness and off record were all applied in both original English and Persian translation.
