DIFFICULTIES IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSLATING PROVERBS AND PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS
Abstract
Translating proverbs and phraseological units poses substantial challenges due to their cultural specificity, idiomatic nature, and nuanced meanings. This article delves into the difficulties encountered during the translation process, examining linguistic, cultural, and contextual factors that impact translation accuracy and effectiveness. Through analysis of qualitative data and case studies, common strategies used by translators are highlighted and the implications of these issues for intercultural communication are discussed. The study emphasizes the need for translators to navigate the complexities of language while preserving the intended meanings and cultural nuances.
