Abstract

This article explores the socio-pragmatic factors that influence the translation of euphemisms from one language to another. Euphemisms are a linguistic phenomenon used to mitigate the impact of taboo or sensitive subjects. The translation of euphemisms poses unique challenges as it involves not only linguistic competence but also a deep understanding of the socio-cultural contexts of both the source and target languages.
