This research delves into the structural intricacies of complex agricultural terms in Ukrainian and English, scrutinizing linguistic nuances, cultural connotations, and technical dimensions. Complex terms, examined in terms of their morphological variations and syntactic differences, were identified as key challenges in bilateral translation. Cultural specificity and regional variations in Ukrainian terms added layers of complexity. The findings underscore the significance of understanding the structural features for accurate translation in the agricultural domain, emphasizing the interplay of linguistic precision, cultural sensitivity, and technical expertise. Translation examples highlight variations and propose context-aware solutions, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach. These examples reveal challenges in conveying the holistic nature of Ukrainian terms in English, emphasizing the need for context-specific solutions. Recommendations for translators include creating glossaries, collaborating with experts since the translation is not a solitary activity. It involves communication and interaction with other translators, clients, agronomists, reviewers, and experts. Also, it is extremely significant to utilize translation technologies and tools wisely. Looking into the future, areas of further research include the study of translation technologies impact on agricultural translation, consideration of regional variations, the dynamic nature of agricultural language, and interdisciplinary collaboration. This research contributes to the evolving landscape of agricultural translation, providing insights into complexities and offering practical guidance for translators.
