How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Mazhit Dauletbaev's translation is the very first translation of the work of the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare into Kazakh. Kazakh poet and playwright M. Dauletbaev translated the play “Hamlet” from the Russian language. In this regard, three versions of the tragedy “Hamlet” will be presented in this article, namely the original version in English, the Russian version translated by Nikolai Polevoy, and the Kazakh version by M. Dauletbaev. The purpose of this research is to identify the differences between the tragedy “Hamlet” in the translation of M. Dauletbaev. The article is aimed at the observation, analysis, and consideration of three versions of the play “Hamlet”. The idea of this scientific paper is to compare the three versions of the play and identify their differences. The scientific significance of this work is the insufficient research of the translation of the tragedy “Hamlet” by M. Dauletbaev. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the results of the study can be used in educational institutions as an auxiliary material. In addition, the data presented can be useful for the research work of students, undergraduates and doctoral students. During the study, methods of analysis and synthesis were applied, as well as descriptive, sorting, and comparative methods. They led to the conclusion that there are various differences between the original version of the tragedy “Hamlet” by W. Shakespeare and its version in Kazakh translated by M. Dauletbaev, which are described in detail in the article. This paper can contribute to further analyzes of translated works, which, in turn, will be able to ensure high-quality assimilation of both original and translated versions of literary works.
