Translate
Translation in the field of language is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text (also called the 'receptor language'). The English language draws a terminological distinction (which does not exist in every language) between translating, which refers to written texts, and interpreting, which denotes the oral or signed rendering of speech between languages.
A translator always risks inadvertently introducing source-language words, grammar, or syntax into the target-language rendering. On the other hand, such "spill-overs" have sometimes imported useful source-language calques and loanwords that have enriched target languages.
Because of the laboriousness of the translation process, since the 1940s efforts have been made, with varying degrees of success, to automate translation or to mechanically aid the human translator. More recently, the rise of the Internet has fostered a world-wide market for translation services and has facilitated "language localisation".
