In the modern world, the problem of translating generic names in literary texts is becoming increasingly important. This article was devoted to the analysis of various aspects of the translation of gender terms from one language to another in literary texts. The authors reviewed theoretical approaches to the translation of generic names and identified the main problems that translators face when conveying such terms. They also examined various strategies for translating gender titles, pronouns, appearances, and behaviors, taking culturally specific aspects into consideration. The translation of Kazakh literary texts was analyzed in three directions: biological, social, and psychological. As a result, not only the incorrectness but also the advantages of direct translation were revealed. The importance of context when translating gender terms and the need to take into account the language and culture of the source and target text were also discussed. The authors drew conclusions about the importance of translating gender names correctly and appropriately in a literary context.
