Abstract. Main goal of translation for writing this article is being familiar with the translation of medical terminologies and spreading the most medical books' translations in Uzbek language. People may find their translation in Russian and other languages, in these case it creates many difficulties for medical university students.
Introduction
The translation of medical terminologies presents a unique set of challenges that require specialized knowledge, linguistic precision, and cultural sensitivity. Medical language is complex and highly specialized, with technical terms often derived from Greek, Latin, or other languages. Accurate translation is paramount to ensure the proper delivery of healthcare services and avoid potential misunderstandings or misinterpretations.
DISCUSSION THE IMPORTANT PROBLEM
Medical texts often lack the context that is present in spoken conversations. Translators must rely on their specialized knowledge to fill in missing information and understand the intended meaning of terms. This can be especially challenging when dealing with ambiguous or figurative language.
Medical concepts and practices vary significantly across cultures. Translators must be aware of cultural differences in medical terminology, such as the use of euphemisms or idioms that may not have direct equivalents in the target language.
The field of medicine is constantly evolving, leading to the introduction of new terms and concepts. Translators must stay abreast of these changes and have access to updated medical dictionaries and resources.
Medical translations require a high degree of precision to avoid confusion or errors. Translators must ensure that technical terms are accurately rendered and that the overall meaning is conveyed correctly. Consistency is also crucial to maintain uniformity throughout the translated text.
Medical translations involve sensitive information about patients and their health. Translators must adhere to ethical guidelines and maintain confidentiality. Additionally, they must be aware of any legal requirements or regulations related to the translation of medical documents.
I translated the instruction: "Epidemiology, prophylaxis and epidemiological control of quarantine and extremely dangerous infections" from Uzbek into English language. I want to share the context from translation process in order to compering both of them would be easy.
I share my own translation about the pneumonic plague diagnosing process translation:

O'pka o'lati. Birlamchi o'pka o'latida inkubatsiya davri 2-3 kunni tashkil etadi, bu istimaning keskin ko'tarilishi, titroq, taxikardiya, ko'krak qafasidagi og'riq va bosh og'rig'i bilan kechib, ko'pincha og'irlashadi. Dastlab ko'rinmaydigan yo'tal 24 soat ichida rivojlanadi, balg'am, avval shilimshiq bilan so'ngra qon bilan aralashib paydo bo'la boshlaydi, keyinchalik bir xil pushti yoki och qizil rangga (malina geliga o'xshash) va ko'piksimon ko'rinishda bo'ladi. Taxipniya va nafas qisilishi mavjud, ammo plevritli ko'krak og'rig'i yo'q bo'ladi. Kokrak qafasi siqilishi kam uchraydi, xirillash bo'lmasligi mumkin. Ikkilamchi o'pka o'lati birlamchi darajaga qaraganda ko'p uchraydi va mikroorganizmlarning gubogen yoki boshqa infeksiya o'choqlaridan gematogen tarqalishi natijasidir. Davolanmagan o'pka o'lati bilan kasallangan bemorlarning ko'pi simptom paydo bo'lganidan keyin 48 soat ichida vafot etadi. Pneumonic plague. In primary pneumonic plague, the incubation period is 2-3 days, which is often aggravated by fever, chills, tachycardia, chest pain, and headache. An initially invisible cough develops within 24 hours, and sputum begins to appear, first mixed with mucus and then with blood, later becoming a uniform pink or light red color (similar to raspberry jelly) and foamy. Tachypnea and shortness of breath are present, but chest pain with pleurisy is absent. Chest tightness is rare, and wheezing may be absent. Secondary pneumonic plague is more common than primary and is the result of hematogenous spread of microorganisms from a bubonic or other source of infection. Most patients with untreated pneumonic plague die within 48 hours after symptom onset.

O'latni tashxislash. Bo'yash, bakposev, serologik tahlil va PCR Tashxis bo'yash va posev bilan tasdiqlanadi, odatda bubon biopsiyasi orqali (jarrohlik drenaj kasallikni organizmga yoyishi mumkin); qon va balg'am posevi ham qilinishi kerak. Boshqa testlarga immunofloressent bo'yash va serologik testlar kiradi; PCR tahlilini qilish imkoni bo'lsa u ham diagnostik hisoblanadi. Oldingi emlash o'lat kasalligini istisno etmaydi; klinik kasallik emlangan odamlarda ham o'zini namoyon qilishi mumkin. O'pka o'lati alomatlari bo'lgan bemorlarda ko'krak qafasi rentgenogrammasini zudlik bilan o'tkazish kerak. Ko'plab pishmagan neytrofillar bo'lgan qondagi leykotsitlar soni odatda 10,000-20,000 / mL ni tashkil qiladi. Plague diagnosis. Staining, smear, serological analysis and PCR Diagnosis is confirmed by staining and smear, usually by bubo biopsy (surgical drainage canspread the disease throughout the body); blood and sputum smear should be done. Other tests include immunofluorescent staining and serological tests; If PCR analysis is possible,it is also diagnostic. Previous vaccination does not exclude plague; clinical disease may also occur in vaccinatedindividuals. A ribcage radiography should be taken immediately in patients with symptoms of pneumonic plague. The number of leukocytes in the blood with many neutrophils is usually 10,000-20,000/ml.
I met with difficulty of translation name of deseases, equipments and chemical processes. For the translation medical terminology book you have a base of words related to medicina. I want
to say about the similiraty of latin language and English, it creates somehow opportunities to the translation process.

In addition, there are many books that have a demand translation of them such as Netter anatomy atlas, Memorixs anatomy, Greys anatomy Rabustva anatomy and Sobotto that were written by . I give sample information about Sobotto:
Sobotta - More than just an Atlas: Learn, Understand and Test your Knowledge Discover the core title of the Sobotta family: the Atlas for students and professionals alike Presented in a practical package combining all three atlas volumes, covering the entire regional anatomy of the human body, as well as, a study book containing Tables of Muscles, Joints and Nerves.
The 16th edition introduces the brand new Sobotta Study Loop. A deeper focus on clinical relevance and actively supporting students prepare for medical exams makes the Sobotta - Atlas of Anatomy more relevant than ever.
In 1,300 pages the atlas offers even more insights into the human body, 500 new exam questions to help consolidate learning and support exam preparation, as well as, a guiding hand to medical students new to the subject.
To ensure accurate and reliable medical terminology translation, it is essential to follow these best practices:
1. Use specialized translators: Engage translators with a thorough understanding of medical terminology and the relevant field of medicine.
2. Provide context: Include background information and relevant documents to provide translators with the necessary context.
3. Establish a glossary: Create a comprehensive glossary of medical terms to ensure consistency throughout the translation.
4. Consider cultural differences: Be mindful of cultural variations in medical concepts and practices to avoid misunderstandings.
5. Collaborate with medical experts: Consult with medical professionals to verify the accuracy of translations and address any technical uncertainties.
CONCLUSION
By addressing the challenges to these best practices, translators can effectively convey medical terminologies across linguistic and cultural barriers, facilitating better healthcare outcomes and fostering global collaboration in the medical field.
