A quick definition of translation:
Translation: Translation is when you change words from one language to another. This can be done so that people who speak different languages can understand the same book, document, or speech. Sometimes, you can also use different words in the same language to express the same idea. Translation can also mean moving a bishop from one area to another in the church. In the past, it was also used to describe transferring property.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Translation is the process of changing language from one form to another. This can include translating a book, document, or speech from one language to another. It can also mean expressing the same ideas in different words within the same language.
For example, if a book is originally written in French and then translated into English, the English version is a translation of the French original. Similarly, if a person is speaking in Spanish and someone else is translating their words into English for an audience that doesn't understand Spanish, that is also a translation.
In the past, the word "translation" was also used to refer to the transfer of property or the moving of a bishop from one diocese to another.
