Summary/Abstract: Collocation is considered one of the major ‗trouble spots' for translators. Collocations play an important role in the coherence of the structure of a language. The translators face difficulties in finding the equivalent of the translated collocation in a second language. One of the reasons is that they lack cultural knowledge of the respective language. This paper aims at shedding light on the problems that arise in the process of translating English collocations into Albanian and presenting some techniques used by the Albanian translators.
