%X <p><em>The translation of culture-bound idioms presents significant challenges due to their deep connection with the cultural, historical, and social background of the source language. This article explores the main strategies for translating English idioms into Uzbek, focusing on semantic equivalence, cultural adaptation, and pragmatic transfer. The study emphasizes the translator’s role as a cultural mediator who bridges linguistic gaps through creative transformation. Various examples demonstrate how literal translation, substitution, modulation, and descriptive methods affect the communicative and stylistic value of idiomatic expressions. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining both cultural authenticity and target language naturalness in idiom translation.</em></p>
