The translation

Translation involves expressing in one language something that was originally expressed in a different language. There are several types of translation approaches including word-for-word, literal, faithful, semantic, communicative, idiomatic, adaptive, and free translation. Translation occurs at the textual, referential, and cohesive levels. At the textual level, syntactic structures are decoded and rendered in the target language. The referential level deals with decoding and conveying the message or meaning. The cohesive level links the textual and referential levels by considering tone, mood, and how to establish tone through subjective, objective, and framing elements.
