The article highlights the problematic of translation and its phraseology, which is due to cross-language idiomatic difficulties with a translation of allphraseologisms abundance. The background for translatability is the logical way of thinking common to all peoples, which ensures the universality of the semantic field. Differences in language, in cultural and mental characteristics of nations are the reason the impossibility for transferring of the whole connotative coloring of phraseological units on a language of translation. The easiest and accessible method is the method of tracing that means the literal translation of phraseological units saving national coloring. By the absence of the source language idiom, corresponding to the original is offered on the basis of a comparative analysis of idiomaticity to find the equivalent of maintaining or not maintaining the base image, or use the descriptive method. The article pays much attention to the analysis of the impact of postmodernism on the practice of literary translation.
At the end, it is inferred that the special expression about the unity of a language, way of thinking, culture in idiomaticity, unity of the conditionality of the translatiton of phraseological units, on the one hand, the objectivity that is given by the imperatives of the dominant culture, and the other, ‑ the subjectivity ‑ by the thesaurus of a interpreter. According with the tasks what solving in the article, the main research methods were the comparative analysis, methods of analogy, a ascent from abstract to concrete but as the methodological basis is the theoretical statements W. von Humboldt, O. Potebni, their followers and a synergistic vision of the linquistic system considering postmodern transformations in culture.
