Abstract

The article reveals the following research questions based on the review of materials from historiographical and translation studies of written translations from European (mainly English) languages into Kazakh and vice versa: highlighting the stages of development of indirect translation in Kazakhstan (coincide with the changed socio- political structure and language situation); identification of the Russian language as an intermediary in translations from European languages into Kazakh and vice versa (preserved since the time of entry into the Soviet Union); description of the development aspects of indirect translation in modern Kazakhstan (the conceptual approach has been preserved since Soviet times, but without an ideological paradigm; literary indirect translations are performed from Kazakh into foreign languages; the number of agents is expanding); characteristics of the main directions of scientific research of indirect translation in modern Kazakhstan (conducted in the linguistic aspect based on the material of new translations, strengthening the requirements for improving the quality of translations with the use of intermediate interlinears). Perspective directions of research on indirect translations in Kazakhstan are: a systematic approach with the separation of external and internal history, including language trends: Kazakh – Russian – foreign; foreign – Russian – Kazakh; conducting research in comparison with other post- Soviet republics as representatives of one conceptual Soviet school of translation studies; and in comparison with indirect translation practices in other countries of the world; development of indirect translation didactics to improve the quality of translator training
