Translating headlines has long been one of the most difficult tasks in the translators agenda. Journalists need to think about its brevity, capacity, content, originality and style when creating a headline. There are different types of heading classifications. Some linguists subdivide titles into factual, figurative, and cliché, as well as nominal and verbal headings. Another less common type of classification is a division into regional and relational headings. The aim of the article is to investigate the translation procedures that are followed during the rendering of headlines of National Geographic magazine from English into Russian and Kazakh languages using both the traditional classification of nominal and verb titles and the new theory, dividing the headings into regional and relational ones. This paper investigates the translation procedures that are followed during the rendering of headlines of National Geographic magazine from English into Russian and Kazakh languages using both the traditional classification of nominal and verb titles and the new theory, dividing the headings into regional and relational ones. The Russian edition is published starting from October 2003 whereas the Kazakh edition of the National Geographic magazine is published only since 2016 and the translations of the latter are yet to be analysed.
