NOTES:

Translation involves more than substituting words. Effective translation often requires interpreting context, structure, symbolism, cultural references, intent, and conceptual relationships in order to preserve meaning across different systems.

CONTROL TEXT OBSERVATION:

Meaning can persist even when symbols change. Translation functions as a conversion mechanism that allows ideas, messages, and concepts to move between different language systems by separating meaning from the specific symbols through which it was originally expressed.
