This article explores the methodology and practical challenges involved in translating foreign words from English into Uzbek. Given the linguistic and cultural differences between the two languages, translators face significant difficulties in accurately conveying meaning while maintaining cultural relevance. Through a qualitative analysis of translation strategies such as transference, naturalization, retention, cultural substitution, and functional equivalence, this study highlights common approaches used to address lexical gaps and cultural disparities. The research also emphasizes the importance of translator training and practical exercises in improving translation quality. The findings underscore the need for a balanced approach that combines linguistic fidelity with cultural sensitivity to facilitate effective cross-linguistic communication.
