PROBLEMS OF TRANSLATING CULTURAL REALIA IN LITERARY TRANSLATION (BASED ON ENGLISH-UZBEK LANGUAGES)
Keywords:
cultural realia, literary translation, translation strategies, English-Uzbek translation, domestication, foreignization, cultural equivalence.Abstract
The article investigates the difficulties that arise when translators attempt to convert cultural realia from English into Uzbek for use in literary works. The study uses descriptive-analytical methods that analyze existing literature together with theoretical frameworks of translation techniques. The research identifies key difficulties translators encounter when dealing with culturally-bound lexical units and analyzes various approaches to their rendition which include transcription and transliteration and calque and descriptive translation and functional analogy. The findings suggest that the choice of translation strategy depends on the function of realia in the source text, the target audience's background knowledge, and the overall purpose of translation.
