Translation is of an absolute necessity in today's world. Robinson (1997) states that the study of translation

is an integral part of intercultural relations and of conveying scientific and technological knowledge. He

further mentions that "translators need to be able to process linguistic materials quickly and efficiently; but
they also need to be able to recognize problem areas and to slow down to solve them in complex analytical

ways" (p. 2). This study is an attempt to explore and evaluate an oblique translation of a text from English
into Urdu to find the most frequent translation strategy. To reach the goal of the study, the researcher

selected one hundred and ten sentences of an original English text which had been translated freely at

random and compared them with their Urdu counterparts. The findings of the study indicated that daily

Dawn English and Radio Pakistan translators used equivalent oblique strategy with the highest percentage

in the translated corpus. After that, modulation, and transposition had the highest percentages respectively.
