Abstract
Translation of technical and scientific texts requires specialized techniques to ensure precision, clarity, and terminological consistency. Unlike literary translation, technical translation demands strict adherence to terminology, logical structure, and objective tone to convey accurate information. This article examines core translation techniques such as literal translation, transposition, modulation, equivalence, and calque, highlighting their applications and challenges in scientific and technical domains. Examples from various languages illustrate these techniques in practice. The article also discusses tools and resources that support translators in maintaining quality and consistency. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of these techniques in facilitating global scientific communication and advancing knowledge transfer.
