| description | This study assessed the strategies employed in translation of Persian idioms into English. The purpose was to investigate how we can identify idioms in the Persian novel The Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat and translate them into English through using Baker's strategies. Moreover, an attempt was made to understand what the most frequently used strategies are for translating idiomatic expressions. The researcher collected 97 Persian idioms and their English translations. Four strategies including (a) using an idiom of similar meaning and form (b), using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form (c), translation by Paraphrase (d), and translation by omission were chosen and scrutinized. The analysis of the data illustrated that the following strategies were used in translating idiomatic expression in order of frequency of use: (1) using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form, (2) using an idiom of similar meaning and form, (3) translation by paraphrase, and (4) translation by omission. Using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form was the most frequently used strategy for translating idioms, and translation by omission was the least commonly used strategy. |

El presente estudio evaluó las estrategias empleadas en la traducción de modismos persas al inglés. El propósito era investigar cómo se puede identificar modismos en la novela persa El búho ciego de Sadegh Hedayat y traducirlos al inglés utilizando las estrategias de Baker. Además, se intentó comprender cuáles son las estrategias más utilizadas para traducir expresiones idiomáticas. El investigador recopiló 97 modismos persas y sus traducciones al inglés. Asimismo, se eligieron y examinaron cuatro estrategias que incluían: (1) usar un idioma de significado y forma similares; (2) usar un idioma de significado similar pero con forma diferente; (3) traducción por paráfrasis; y (4) traducción por omisión. El análisis de los datos ilustró que se usaron las siguientes estrategias para traducir expresiones idiomáticas en orden de frecuencia de uso: (1) usar un idioma de significado similar pero de forma diferente, (2) usar un idioma de significado y forma similar, (3) traducción por paráfrasis y (4) traducción por omisión. En síntesis, usar un idioma de significado similar pero de forma diferente fue la estrategia más utilizada para traducir modismos, y la traducción por omisión fue la estrategia menos utilizada.
