In this article, the role and significance of semantic relations in the process of translation are examined. It analyzes the difficulties that arise in translation between languages belonging to different families, particularly in the case of English and Uzbek, focusing on issues related to mismatches in grammatical structures, lexical items, and semantic units. Special emphasis is placed on the translator’s skill in correctly applying semantic transformations, deeply understanding the context, and adequately conveying culturally specific concepts. Furthermore, the views of linguists such as E. Mednikova, N. Maskalyunen, Ibn Rashiq al-Kayravani, Sh. Sirojiddinov, A. Cruse, and J. Lyons are discussed on a scholarly basis. The article also substantiates the invaluable role of semantics in the translation process through the works of prominent representatives of the Uzbek school of translation, including the translations of Mirzakalon Ismoiliy and Alisher Navoi. According to the findings, an in-depth analysis of semantic relations is demonstrated to be one of the key factors in ensuring the reliability, effectiveness, and adequacy of translation.
