Language translation is the process of restating some text written in one language in a different language. In other words, to translate is examine some original text, written in what is called the [source language]?, and to write a corresponding text in different language, called the [target language]?, with the goal of preserving the tone and meaning of the original text.

Translators typically distinguish translation from interpretation, which is live translation of speech.
