Abstract
Technical translation is the type of translation dealing with scientific and technical subjects and using the specialized terminology of the scientific or technical field involved that forms the vital part of the translating process. Dealing with terminology in specialised translation is quite a challenging task and may require much effort and creativity on the translator’s side, the right choice of translation strategies and procedures. Transportation technology is a quickly developing field due to the age of globalization; as a result, the need for coining new technical terms is becoming difficult to ignore. The present study explores the strategies underlying the appropriate translation of transportation terms from English into Ukrainian. For this purpose, a corpus of 140 English transportation terms was randomly extracted from the two transportation websites and was compared with their Ukrainian equivalents. By comparing and contrasting the frequencies of the strategies used, it was revealed that the most frequently used translation procedure is calque (38%). Literal translation was the second most frequent procedure (26%), followed by borrowing procedure (15%). Equivalence and transposition were utilized the least, 13% and 8% respectively, for rendering the transportation terminology.
