Abstract


The article analyzes the role of the translator in the development of the terminological system of veterinary medicine, which is a complex system of terms of different origin connected by the relationship of synonymy and antonymy. On the example of phrases from a highly specialized text, various translation strategies are shown. The conclusion is made about the active influence of the translator on the state and development of terminology: depending on the experience and immersion in the specialty, the translator can preserve the original from the source language, create a hybrid, offer a descriptive translation or find an appropriate equivalent in the recipient language.
