It gives a vivid description of national identity, expression of national color in their English version and problems of translation in them. The article gives information about English translations of Uzbek folklore, their chronicle and authors of works. Methods. Investigation of translation problems found their reflection in the article by using comparative, comparative-analytical and analytical methods. Results. The primary source of restatements are the results of exploration by German Turkologists. Importance of the restatement consists of oral prose sources similar as tales, stories, legends, and folk dramatizations as “lof”( a taradiddle ). It’s worth noting that the leadership in this area belongs to German translators who have accumulated rich experience. After all, this movement, which began in the alternate half of the 19th century, took stable forms at the morning of the 20th century, and the number of restatements into German increased slightly. Conclusion. As we know, translation is a bridge between two languages. This process helps researchers to establish the significance of language, to distinguish difference between mentalities and to know well the language itself. Therefore, in the article we tried to connect the two nations` investigations in the field of Uzbek folklore translations.
