This article explores the multifaceted challenges encountered in translating medical terms across languages. Medical terminology is characterized by its high level of specificity, frequent use of neologisms, Latin and Greek roots, and context-dependent meanings. The article categorizes translation problems into lexical, semantic, morphological, and cultural types. Lexical problems often arise due to the absence of direct equivalents in the target language, while semantic issues involve polysemy and synonymy. Morphological challenges are associated with complex compound structures and affixation, commonly found in scientific texts. Cultural problems, meanwhile, stem from differences in healthcare systems, practices, and perceptions between source and target cultures. The study also emphasizes the importance of terminological consistency, especially in clinical and pharmaceutical contexts, where accuracy is crucial for patient safety. It discusses the role of the translator’s subject-matter knowledge, the need for standardized glossaries, and the usefulness of computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools. Overall, the article contributes to a better understanding of the cognitive and linguistic processes involved in medical translation and offers strategies to address common difficulties. It is particularly useful for professional translators, linguists, and medical professionals engaged in multilingual communication.
