TRANSLATION ISSUES OF TOURISM TERMINOLOGY IN UZBEK AND ENGLISH.
Keywords:
tourism terminology, translation problems, Uzbek-English translation, intercultural communication, translation strategiesAbstract
This article examines the main translation issues of tourism terminology between Uzbek and English languages. Tourism vocabulary plays an important role in intercultural communication and professional translation. However, many tourism-related terms do not have direct equivalents, which creates difficulties for translators. The study analyzes common problems such as lexical gaps, cultural differences, and semantic ambiguity in tourism texts. Various translation strategies including borrowing, transliteration, and descriptive translation are discussed. The results show that accurate translation of tourism terminology requires not only linguistic knowledge but also cultural awareness. This research contributes to improving the quality of tourism translation and helps translators choose appropriate methods when working with tourism-related materials.
