THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF TRANSLATING HEALTHCARE TEXTS

This article examines the theoretical foundations of translating healthcare texts from the perspective of translation studies and terminology. It considers the genre and stylistic features of medical texts, the problems of achieving terminological equivalence, and the translation transformations used in practice. Particular attention is paid to the differences between translating texts for specialists and for the general public. The findings support the need for a systematic theoretical approach to ensure accuracy, adequacy and communicative appropriateness in medical translation.
