TRANSLATION CHALLENGES: STRATEGIES FOR TRANSLATING HUMOROUS DIALOGUES IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGE SYSTEMS
Abstract
Humor is one of the most captivating yet most delicate and difficult-to-translate aspects of any culture. It is inextricably linked not only to language but also to deep cultural, historical, and social contexts. "Transferring" a humorous dialogue from a film, book, or series into another language is not just about replacing words but transforming an entire emotion, intention, and laughter into a new cultural code. This process poses an extremely complex task for the translator: to preserve the text or its effect? This article explores the main strategies used in translating humorous material from different language systems (e.g., English, Uzbek, Russian), their applications, and their effectiveness.
