Translation is defined as the communication of the meaning of a source language (SL) text by means of an equivalent target language (TL) text. In most languages, there is no terminological distinction between Translation ( written text) and Interpreting ( oral or sign-language communication). However, English draws such terminological distinction between the two.
During the translation process, whether intentionally or unintentionally introduce (SL) vocabulary, grammar or syntax into the TL. Such spillovers have sometimes invited new useful SL claques and loanwords, which enriched target languages.
The Latin origin for the English word for “Translation” is “Translatio” which comes from “Trans” meaning across + ferre, ” to carry” or “to bring”. Thus, the Latin word “Translatio” means to carry across or to bring across.
Other languages like the Germanic or Slavic languages have calqued their own words for that concept. As for the Romance languages, the word for translation was derived from an another Latin word which is “traductio” meaning to lead across or to bring across. The Ancient Greek term for translation “metaphrasis” has supplied English with “metaphrase” ( word-for-word translation) as contrasted with “paraphrase” ( saying in other words from “paraphrasis). The word Metaphrase corresponds to “formal Equivalence” and “paraphrase” to dynamic equivalence. ( Wekipedia). Wikipedia contributors. (2018, September 17). Translation.
