In translation studies, the technique of “concretization” refers to a shift from a more general or abstract expression in the source language to a more specific or detailed expression in the target language. This transformation is often required because languages differ in how they encode meaning, and what may be implicitly understood or broadly stated in one language may need to be clarified or specified in another to ensure accurate comprehension. Concretization helps the translator make the message clearer, more precise, and more contextually appropriate for the target audience. This technique is especially common when translating from languages that tend to use more general vocabulary into those that prefer explicitness. Russian, for example, often employs words with broader semantic ranges, while English may require a more precise lexical choice depending on the context. The translator must interpret the intended meaning from context and select a term that conveys the exact nuance in the target language.
