Main Article Content

Abstract

Translating cultural symbols and metaphors from Uzbek to English requires a nuanced approach to capture the richness and depth of Uzbek literature. These elements carry cultural significance and convey complex ideas, presenting challenges in finding equivalent expressions or conveying the intended meaning to English-speaking readers. Successful translation involves creative adaptation, contextual explanation, and a deep understanding of both cultures to ensure the integrity and impact of the original work are preserved in the translated text.
