What is Translation?
The act of translation involves taking a text written in one language and producing the equivalent text in another language. Translation is an imperfect art as there is no word-to-word correspondence between two languages. A mechanical word-to-word translation cannot take into account grammatical rules, idioms, context or the conventions of writing systems. -
Etymology
The world "translation" is derived from the Latin "translatio" meaning "to carry across." The Greek word for "translation," "metaphrasis," has provided English with the terms "metaphrase," meaning word-for-word, and "paraphrase," meaning "a saying in other words." The distinction, taken from the Greek, allows translators to differentiate between metaphrase, the formal equivalent of a text, and paraphrase, the dynamic equivalent of a text. -
