This article investigates the cognitive mechanisms underlying the representation of the Uzbek national character image in literary translation. Drawing on comparative translation analysis, conceptual metaphor theory, and cognitive linguistics, the study examines how language units functioning as markers of national identity are transferred across English–Uzbek and Russian–Uzbek translationpairs. The research demonstrates that national character representation is not merely a lexical–semantic challenge but a deeply cognitive process in which translators negotiate between source conceptual frameworks and target cultural schemata. Findings reveal that successful representation of the Uzbek national character in translation depends on the translator's linguistic identity, socio-cultural competence, and ability to deploy cognitive equivalence at both denotative and connotative levels. The article contributes to cognitive translation studies and offers implications for translator education in multilingual Central Asian contexts.
