Abstract: This paper studies the translation dilemma in international communication of Chinese traditional sports culture. The results indicate that the dilemma includes: lack of professional translators, the number of translation publications being limited, translation methods lacking divergence, and the scope of translation contents being narrow. To tackle the dilemma, this present paper proposes the following measures: constructing translation talents training system to cultivate professional translators; emphasizing the transfer of context to broaden cultural paths of communication; breaking through culture barriers; and optimizing translation contents of traditional sports culture.
