metadata.value: The relevance of this study is due to the growing interest in translations of fairy tales of small
  peoples and methods of linguistic and cultural translation of the content of the text in the process
  of translation. The work is interdisciplinary in nature and is at the intersection of cultural
  linguistics, folklore studies, comparative linguistics, and translation. The aim of the work is to
  determine how information about the values of the Karachay-Balkarian linguoculture is verbalized
  in the texts of fairy tales in the Karachay-Balkarian language, as well as to analyze the
  advantages and disadvantages of strategies of linguocultural adaptation (explication or elimination
  of national color) of this type of text into Russian and English. To solve the set tasks, two
  complementary research methods were used: an introspective method, oriented to the process
  (the author’s translation of five Karachay-Balkarian fairy tales into English), and the traditional
  method of retrospective analysis for translation studies by comparing the originals of Karachay-
  Balkarian fairy tales and their published translations into Russian. The material for this study
  was the Collection of Karachay-Balkarian fairy tales and legends, the Collection of Karachay-
  Balkarian fairy tales (transl. by A. Alieva, A. Kholayev, 1983), the Collection of Karachay fairy
  tales (transl. by I. Rumyantseva, 1981), the Collection of folk tales of Balkarians and Karachays
  (transl. by A. Alieva, A. Kholayev, 2003). The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the
  first time the Karachay-Balkarian fairy tale as a cultural narrative of the people is considered in
  the aspect of translation criticism. The translation of such tales is conditioned by both a culturally
  specific plot and the form that is its basis — cultural details, peculiarities of mentality, expressed
  in language and constituting a special axiological background of the Karachai-Balkarian fairy
  tale. When translating, a significant part of these formal elements can be neutralized by translators
  for the sake of children’s perception (use of analogues in the target text, omission, deliberate
  domestication of the source text), which, however, leads to the loss of the main thing — the
  national and cultural originality of the source text. When explicating the cultural characteristics,
  the translator makes the reader familiar with the national flavor of another culture, however, at
  the same time, some excessive culturally specific information is transferred into the target text,
  which can cause misunderstanding or distorted perception on the part of the child reader (for
  example, the topic of polygamy and the peculiarities of the distribution of roles in family). In this
  regard, a balanced approach to the choice of the optimal strategy for the cultural and pragmatic
  adaptation of fairy tale texts during translation is necessary: the translator’s decision to explicate
  or eliminate national cultural specificity is of a compromise nature.
