- Translation is the interpretation of the meaning of a text in one language and the production, in another language, of an equivalent text that communicates the same message.
- Translation must take into account a number of constraints, including context, the rules of grammar of the two languages, their writing conventions, and their idioms.
- Perhaps the most common misconception about translation is that there exists a simple "word-for-word" correspondence between any two languages, and that translation is therefore a straightforward mechanical process.
- On the contrary, every language is a historically-evolved self-contained system, and historically-determined differences between languages may dictate differences of expression.
