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.
