TRANSLATE Meaning and Definition

1. Translate is a verb that refers to the act of converting or expressing something from one language to another, while maintaining its original meaning and intention. It involves conveying the meaning, ideas, or content of a written or spoken text in a different language, ensuring effective communication between different linguistic communities.

   The process of translation typically involves an individual, known as a translator, who possesses a deep understanding of both the source and target languages. Translators are skilled in recognizing and interpreting cultural nuances, idiomatic expressions, and linguistic peculiarities inherent in the original text, in order to accurately reproduce them in the translated version.

   Translation is not only limited to written content, but also includes oral or spoken communication. This may involve interpreting conversations, speeches, or even sign language into another language. In addition to language proficiency, translators often possess specific subject matter expertise, allowing them to translate specialized texts like medical journals, legal documents, technical manuals, or literary works.

   The purpose of translation varies depending on the context. It can facilitate international communication, promote cultural exchange, aid in business dealings, or enable access to information across different language barriers. Moreover, translation plays a crucial role in the dissemination of knowledge, literature, and ideas across various cultures, fostering a sense of understanding and inclusivity in our increasingly globalized world.

2. To carry or remove from one place to another; to convey; to change; to render from one language into another, as French into English the sense of the original; to interpret; to transfer, as a bishope from one see to another.
