Annotation: This article delves into the unique challenges faced by translators when tasked with translating neologisms - newly coined words or phrases that often lack a direct equivalent in the target language. The author discusses how the rapid evolution and cultural specificity of neologisms make it challenging for translators to accurately convey their meaning and nuances. Through a combination of literal translation, cultural adaptation, and explanation, translators must navigate the constantly changing landscape of language to effectively communicate the original intent of these terms to a global audience. Furthermore, the article highlights the importance of linguistic proficiency, cultural awareness, and creativity in effectively translating neologisms and bridging language barriers in an increasingly globalized world.
