In the context of globalization and rapid technological advancement, the gas industry has become one of the most internationally integrated sectors of the global economy. This integration requires accurate and standardized translation of gas industry terminology to ensure effective communication among engineers, researchers, and policymakers. Gas industry terms differ significantly in structure and complexity, ranging from simple one-word units to complex multi-component terminological expressions. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the main methods used in translating simple and complex gas industry terms across languages, with particular emphasis on English and Uzbek. The study examines literal translation, borrowing, calque, descriptive translation, and functional equivalence as the most frequently applied strategies. The research highlights structural and semantic challenges in technical translation and emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate translation methods to preserve terminological accuracy, conceptual clarity, and professional reliability.
