Linguoculturological aspect in study textbooks on translation in a pair of Chinese and Russian languages

the linguacultural competence of a translator is a set of knowledge, abilities and skills that allows the translator to effectively carry out intercultural communication, taking into account the cultural characteristics of the source language and the target language. It goes beyond simple language proficiency and covers the understanding of cultural realities, values, traditions and social norms that affect the formation of the meaning of the text. This competence is extremely important for a translator, since without understanding the cultural context, difficulties may arise in interpreting the meaning of the text. An adequate translation should not only convey factual information, but also have the desired impact on the target audience. This article considers the problem of reflecting the linguacultural aspect in translation textbooks intended for teaching students working with Chinese and Russian. The textbook "Theory and Practice of Translation of Foreign Texts: Oriental Languages" and the textbook "Theory and Practice of Translation in a Pair of Chinese and Russian Languages" are analyzed in order to identify ways of presenting culturally specific elements and strategies for their adequate transmission in translation. Particular attention is paid to the difficulties that arise when confronted with cultural realities, idioms, proverbs and sayings that reflect the unique worldview of native speakers.
