Ethnolinguistic factors play a crucial role in the translation of literary texts, particularly when the source and target languages belong to different cultural and cognitive systems. Uzbek literary works are deeply embedded in national traditions, everyday realities, and culturally specific worldviews, which pose significant challenges for translators working into English. This article examines key ethnolinguistic issues arising in the translation of the Uzbek novel The Mischievous Boy by Gafur Gulom into English. The study focuses on culture-bound lexical units, idiomatic expressions, social realia, and pragmatic meanings that reflect Uzbek cultural identity. Through qualitative analysis of selected examples, the article identifies major translation difficulties and evaluates the strategies employed to convey ethnocultural meanings in the target language. The findings demonstrate that successful literary translation requires not only linguistic competence but also deep ethnolinguistic awareness and cultural mediation.
