Definition of translation

Translation is not only a product, but a process. Particularly a process of understanding both the target and source languages, their cultures and the context of the communicative situation.

​

Additionally, interpretation is a genre of translation. While translation is focused on the written process, interpretation is focused on the oral part.

​

However, in order to translate, one must interpret first.

If a language is made up of different symbols, one must know how to interpret them first, before transferring them into a secondary language.

​

Conclusively, translation is the process of conveying messages in a coherent and cohesive way.
