Phraseology is a vital aspect of language that encompasses idiomatic expressions, collocations, and proverbs, all of which pose significant challenges in translation. These linguistic units often carry deep cultural and contextual meanings that do not have direct equivalents in the target language. Translators must navigate issues such as semantic shifts, cultural differences, and the risk of losing stylistic nuances. This study explores key challenges in phraseological translation and evaluates various strategies, including literal translation, adaptation, paraphrasing, and equivalence. By analyzing real-world examples, the research highlights best practices for preserving both the meaning and cultural essence of phraseological units.
