2 Translation Translating/translation: written rendition of a document or recording from one language into another language. High level of accuracy required. Sufficient time or staffing available for translator(s) to consult multiple resources to ensure precision.

3 Translation Insight from a former director of the Munich Sprachen & Dolmetscher Institute Privy Councilor Gautier was justified in taking the position that translations into a foreign language are best made by those people with a natives command of that [target] language. [Translation by Don Ford]

4 Basic translation principles include: Lexical analysis (defining) – Auswirkung: effect, impact, ramification Morphological analysis (parsing) – Auswirkung, Auswirkungen Syntactic analysis (defining in context) – effects versus impacts versus ramifications Cultural analysis (enculturating) – Zivilisation versus Kultur
