Two languages do not resemble each other.in this context, there is a necessity for a translation to communicate between two different languages. Translation has to be effected in a linguistic approach “Linguistics quite clearly does have something to offer the study of translation
Metaphors occupy an important place in the usage of figures of speech. Mainly it refers to physical entities and experiences. Figures of speech including metaphors cannot be translated literally. Translators must have the cognitive skills to transfer the conative meaning of the metaphors to the TL in its suitable environment. Metaphors are pervasive in everyday language not merely as a poetic tools or a rhetorical symbol. It can also serve as a tool of linguistic change and innovation. The metaphors are frequently used in order to highlight the conceptual ideas of metaphorical nature. The study describes in the present articles the characteristics of metaphor, types of metaphor, methods, strategies to be applies and difficulties experiences in the process of metaphor translation.

This research deals with the cognitive frame work and cognitive translation hypothesis. This research attempts to apply descriptive, and comparative methods to translate metaphors in the back ground of established approaches. Then the comparative analysis the relationship metaphor between the SL and TL.
