    Translation involves transferring the meaning of text from one language to another. There are three main types of translation: intralingual (within the same language), interlingual (between languages), and intersemiotic (between sign systems). Successful translation requires understanding differences in language structure, culture, ambiguity, and lexical/structural mismatches between the source and target languages. The translator must convey meaning accurately while adhering to appropriate structural conventions.

    TRANSLATION

     Definition : the process of translating words


    or text from one language into another.
     Translation is the communication of the

    meaning of a source-language text by means


    of an equivalent target-language text
     the process of translating words or text from

    one language into another, the process of


    moving something from one place to another.
     Intralingual translation: Translation within a
    language which would involve explaining it in
    words of the same language
     Interlingual translation: Translation from one
    language into another or reinterpretation of
    the message in another linguistic code
     Intersemiotic translation: Translation from
    one linguistic system to another which means
    the transference of meaning from a verbal to
    a non-verbal system or from one medium to
    another
    Problems of Translation
     Structure of the Language
    The structure of sentences in English and other
    languages may be different.
    For example, in English the adjective is placed
    before the noun, but in French the adjective comes
    after the noun.
    Language is complex and ever-evolving. The
    translator has to know the exact structure in each
    language, and use the appropriate structure, and
    they have to ensure that the translation is
    performed without changing the meaning as well.
    Different Culture
     Often, colloquialism is woven into formal language, making the
    translator’s task very difficult indeed.
     The larger the region where the language is spoken, the more the
    dialects there are likely to be, and the more colloquial words you are
    likely to find – except in technical documents translations, legal
    document translations, or translations of medical transcripts.

     The culture practised by the speakers of each language may also be


    vastly different; for example, the British are famous for their dry,
    biting sarcasm, which is their brand of humor. However, this kind of
    sarcasm may not be appreciated in not just a country speaking a
    different language, but even another country where they speak
    English. Then the problem arises as to how to translate accurately
    without hurting sentiments or angering the target audience.
     Ambiguity
     In the best of all possible worlds(as far as

    most Natural Language Processing is


    concerned, anyway) every word would have
    one and only one meaning.
     But, as we all know, this is not the case. When

    a word has more than one meaning, it is said


    to be lexically ambiguous.
    Lexical and Structural Mismatches

     At the start of the previous section we said that, in the best of


    all possible worlds for NLP, every word would have exactly
    one sense. While this is true for most NLP, it is an
    exaggeration as regards MT. It would be a better world, but
    not the best of all possible worlds, because we would still be
    faced with difficult translation problems.
     Some of these problems are to do with lexical differences
    between languages — differences in the ways in which
    languages seem to classify the world, what concepts they
    choose to express by single words, and which they choose
    not to lexicalize. We will look at some of these directly.
     Other problems arise because different languages use
    different structures for the same purpose, and the same
    structure for different purposes. In either case, the result is
    that we have to complicate the translation process. I
