Translation is the process of converting text from one language to another, and it is a process that requires special skills
Stages of translation
Translation takes place in two basic stages:
Comprehension and analysis: This includes reading the entire text with understanding and knowledge of the topic it revolves around and familiarity with its details according to the mother tongue or the one from which it is being translated.
Wording: It is arranging speech appropriately into the language into which it is being translated, using meanings expressing the original words without disturbing the meaning or neglecting any information.
Translation steps
Translation takes place in several steps, which are as follows:
- Read the text more than once.
- Searching for the meanings of words whose meaning the translator does not know by using translation tools
- Translating and formulating sentences linguistically correctly without disturbing the meaning
- Choose the most expressive and appropriate words
- Reviewing and correcting mistakes.
