Translation

The term "translation" can be
generally defined as the action of interpretation of the meaning of a text, and
production of an equivalent text that communicates the same message in another
language.

In geometry and physics, translation is the relocation of the position of
points or objects.

In cellular reproduction, translation is the first stage of protein
biosynthesis.

Translation is the communication of the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
text by means of an [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
text.^{[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]}
Whereas [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
undoubtedly antedates [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.],
translation began only after the appearance of written [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]; there exist partial
translations of the Sumerian [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
(ca. 2000 BCE) into [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] languages of the second millennium
BCE.^{[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]}

Translators always risk inappropriate

of source-language [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
into the target-language translation. On the other hand, spill-overs have
imported useful source-language [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] that have enriched the target languages. Indeed,
translators have helped substantially to shape the languages into which they
have translated.^{[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]}

Due to the demands of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] documentation
consequent to the Industrial
Revolution that began in the mid-18th century, some translation specialties
have become formalized, with dedicated schools and professional associations.^{[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]}

Because of the laboriousness of
translation, since the 1940s engineers have sought to automate translation ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])
or to mechanically aid the human translator (computer-assisted
translation).^{[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]} The
