Problems of Non-equivalent Words in Technical Translation
Mohammad Ibrahim Qani
Translating words which do not have equivalent in target language is not easy
and finding proper equivalent of those words are very important to render
correctly and understandably, the article defines some thoughts and ideas of
scientists on the common problems of non-equivalent words from English to
Russian language and includes English and Russian examples and ideas of certain
scientist. The English language is worldwide spoken and there are 1.35 billion
English speakers and over 258 million Russian speakers according to the 2021s
statistics. Inevitably, these billions of speakers around the world have
connection and they may have deal in different criteria. In order to understand
one another they need to have a pure and fully-understood language. These pure
languages understanding directly relates to translation knowledge where
linguists and translators need to work and research to eradicate
misunderstanding. Misunderstandings mostly appear in non-equivalent words
because there are different local and internal words like food, garment,
cultural and traditional words and others in every notion. Truly, most of these
words do not have equivalent in the target language and these words need to be
worked and find their equivalent in the target language to fully understand the
both languages. However, some of these non-equivalent words are already
professionally rendered to the target language but still there many other words
to be rendered. Hence, this research paper includes different ways and rules of
rendering non-equivalent words from source language to the target language.
