This study explores the principal strategies applied in translating culturally-bound phraseological units from English into Uzbek, combining theoretical foundations of translation studies with empirical observations from professional practice and academic teaching. Employing descriptive and comparative analysis within a framework informed by prominent translation theory models, the research identifies four core strategies: use of full equivalents, calquing, cultural adaptation, and descriptive translation. The study demonstrates that while universal idioms with shared cultural imagery can be directly translated without loss of meaning, phraseological units that embody culture-specific elements typically necessitate adaptation or explanatory rendering to maintain pragmatic value, stylistic nuance, and communicative effectiveness in the target language. Furthermore, it emphasizes that informed strategic decision-making, grounded in both linguistic competence and intercultural awareness, is crucial for balancing semantic precision with naturalness and acceptability. The findings reinforce the translator’s role as an active cultural mediator, contributing significantly to successful intercultural communication in an increasingly globalized context.
