AI overview

Translation is the process of converting written or spoken words from one language into another while preserving their meaning. It matters because it allows people who speak different languages to access important works and ideas, as shown in this historical example where King Charles V of France commissioned translations of Aristotle's writings to make classical knowledge available to his court.

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.
