The article examines the role and significance of socio-political translation in the context of modern intercultural communication. From a sociolinguistic perspective, the study explores the peculiarities of translating political discourse, including adaptation to the target audience, adherence to linguistic norms, and issues of political correctness. Based on concrete translation examples from Kazakh and Russian, the analysis focuses on national-cultural features as well as the translator’s linguistic competence and lexical usage. In the context of modern intercultural communication, the sociolinguistic features of socio-political translation are identified using materials from the Kazakh and Russian languages. The main objects of the study are the President’s Address and legislative acts. The semantic, lexical, and stylistic characteristics of translated texts in Kazakh and Russian are analyzed, and conclusions are drawn on the basis of translation theory and general requirements for translators. During the research, particular attention is paid to sociolinguistic aspects, namely linguistic identity, national-mental specificities, communicative strategies, and the role of cultural values. The process of translating socio-political texts is described as an act of intercultural communication, in which the translator’s creative activity and heuristic decisions are examined. The findings contribute to improving translation practice in multilingual environments and provide a deeper understanding of the interaction between the Kazakh and Russian languages within intercultural communication.
