   Translation
   The process of converting the genetic infor- mation of an mRNA on ribosomes into a polypeptide. Transfer RNA molecules carry the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome, where they are joined by peptide bonds.

   Translation
   The process of translating poetry written in one language into another language. This is a notoriously difficult exercise due to the condensed language of poetry, the prevalence of figures of speech and the problem of finding equivalent rhymes.
   There are also different approaches to translation. Some translators aim to provide an exact translation - while others try only to convey the general impression of the text. Dryden, who translated both Virgil and Homer, identified three types: 'metaphrase' (literal), 'paraphrase' ('with latitude') and 'imitation'.
   More recently, Ted Hughes has translated Ovid and Seamus Heaney Beowulf.

    Translation
    `Translation` is the interpretation of the meaning of a text in one language (the `source text`) and the production, in another language (the `target language`), of an equivalent text (the `target text,` or `translation`) that communicates the same message. Translation must take into account constraints that include context, the rules of grammar of the two languages, their writing conventions, and their idioms. Traditionally translation has bee...

    translation
    (trans-la´shәn) the synthesis of a polypeptide using messenger RNA as a template, a complex process involving ribosomes and transfer RNAs; every three bases along the messenger RNA (a codon) specifies one amino acid in the polypeptide chain.
