Definitions
Translation
Translation A translation is simply the rendering of a given composition from one language into another.
Literal Translation
This is a specific kind of translation.
It is one that expresses, as far as is possible, the exact meaning of the original words.
It is a word-for-word translation and therefore is more rigid in its renderings than a mere translation.
Transliteration
This is the rendering of the letters of one language into the corresponding letters of another.
This results in many foreign words being introduced into a given language.
Version
A version is a translation from the original language of a literary text into another language.
Revision, or Revised Edition
Those works that are actually translated from one language, usually the original, and have been carefully and systematically reviewed and examined for the purpose of correcting errors or making other necessary emendations are called revisions or revised versions.
Recension
A recension is the product of critically and systematically revising a text, rather than its translation, although such works may not be called recensions.
Paraphrase
Paraphrases are free translations or restatements of sentences, passages, or works in an attempt to keep the original sense of a text while expressing its meaning more fully or clearly than could be done by a more literal translation.
