Translation: The process or act of translating from one language into another.

is an activity comprising the interpretation of the meaning of a text in one language—the source text—and the production of a new, equivalent text in another language—called the target text, or the translation.

Traditionally, translation has been done by humans but with the advancements in computer technology the process can be automated and assisted by using translation software. Software can greatly reduce the time and costs usually associated with translating documents.

The goal of translation is to establish a relationship of equivalence between the source and the target texts (that is to say to ensure that both texts communicate the same message), while taking into account a number of constraints. These constraints include context, the rules of grammar of the source language, its writing conventions, its idioms and the like.
