This document discusses translation and defines it as the process of transferring the meaning of text from a source language to a target language. It explains that translation involves using words that already have equivalents in the target language, new words for concepts that have no existing translation, adopting foreign words but writing them with target language letters, and adjusting foreign words to follow target language rules of pronunciation, spelling and grammar. The goal of translation is to convey the meaning of the source text in the target language.
