The author gives the grammatical features of the scientific and technical style in modern English; the syntactic structure of the scientific and technical text; style-forming factors of English scientific speech; translation strategy. The changes that the English language has undergone over the past twenty years in the process of assimilation of foreigners in England are considered. The article presents specialized websites for translators, taking into account the formal and logical style of presentation of technical English literature. It also describes the features and norms of translation (cohesion, zeugma, translation of borrowings by their definition), the formation of students of non-linguistic higher education institutions of the competencies necessary for practice-oriented translation (academic, speech, technical, information search, contextual or transformational). All stylistic and terminological features of translation, as well as grammatical phenomena, are accompanied by numerous examples in the scientific and technical literature.
