Such texts help young translators learn not only to translate meaning, but also to convey atmosphere, rhythm, and hidden meanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are truly proud of all the participants and winners of the contest. You have shown that translation is creativity, sensitivity, and the ability to see the world more broadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, knowledge of English and translation opens up great opportunities: international projects, professional communication, meeting talented people from different countries, and the chance for a successful career. That is why it is so important to develop your skills now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We thank all participants for their inspiration, courage, and love of words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"785\" height=\"399\" data-id=\"4867\" src=\"https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-32-44-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-32-44-1.jpg 785w, https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-32-44-1-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-32-44-1-768x390.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"567\" height=\"548\" data-id=\"4868\" src=\"https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-32-52-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-32-52-1.jpg 567w, https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-32-52-1-300x290.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"4870\" src=\"https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-03-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-03-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-03-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-03-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-03-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"4869\" src=\"https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-39-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-39-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-39-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-39-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foreign-languages.stu.cn.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/photo_2026-05-06_20-33-39-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 6, 2026, the participants of the translation contest were congratulated at a special event that brought together talented school students who are passionate about English, literature, and the art of words.
