This study analyzes the Persian translation of Jean Giono’s «The Hill» by Mansour Ansari through the lens of eco-translatology. Unlike previous approaches in translation studies, this theoretical framework—recently proposed by Chinese theorist Hu Gengshen—draws on Darwinian principles to view translation as a systematic process of "adaptation," "selection," and "survival of the fittest" within a host ecosystem. As an interdisciplinary approach combining ecology and translation studies, eco-translatology has opened up new perspectives in translation research. This study aims, on the one hand, to analyze how the translator makes stylistic and conceptual choices and adaptations based on Gengshen’s model of three-dimensional transformations—linguistic, cultural, and pragmatic—and, on the other hand, to examine whether the text's viability and survival within the new eco-environment preserve the balance and compatibility of the host society's cultural system. Linguistically, the analysis reveals that Ansari adapted to the target language environment through the use of appropriate stylistic devices and lexical choices. Furthermore, regarding the cultural dimension, by selecting equivalents rooted in Iranian mythology and cultural traditions, the translator adapted the source text to the target context; finally, concerning the functional dimension, strategies were employed to recreate the source text's emotional and aesthetic impact for the Persian-speaking reader. To harmonize the source and target texts, the translator employed strategies such as literal translation, modulation, transformation, and—in certain cases—addition.
