Abstract

Technical translation in construction and engineering is a crucial aspect of international cooperation, ensuring effective communication between specialists from different linguistic backgrounds. The accuracy and consistency of translated technical documents are essential for the successful execution of engineering projects, compliance with international standards, and the prevention of critical misunderstandings. This study explores the specific features of technical translation in construction and engineering, highlighting key challenges such as terminological consistency, linguistic complexity, and contextual adaptation. The research employs descriptive, linguistic, and comparative analysis methods to examine translation processes and propose effective strategies for overcoming common difficulties. The findings suggest that technical translation requires specialized knowledge, adherence to standardized terminology, and the use of appropriate translation techniques, such as transliteration, adaptation, and semantic equivalence. The study also emphasizes the role of modern translation tools and artificial intelligence in enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of technical translations.
