Translation plays a crucial role in bridging communication between different languages and cultures. However, it is a complex process that involves much more than simply substituting words from one language to another. Among the multifaceted challenges that translators face, lexical problems stand out as particularly significant. Lexical issues pertain to the vocabulary of a language, including the meanings of words, their nuances, and their contextual usages. This article explores the various lexical problems encountered in translation, examining the causes, examples, and strategies used to overcome these challenges.
