Abstract

This article explores the linguistic and cultural barriers in the process of translating English movie titles into Ukrainian. It focuses on the complexity of achieving translation adequacy while preserving semantic, emotional, and cultural content. The research analyzes idiomatic expressions, wordplay, semantic ambiguity, and sociocultural nuances. The study is based on modern translation theories and includes practical examples of successful and adapted translations. The findings highlight the importance of balancing literal accuracy with cultural relevance for the target audience.
