types of translations
In the last few months I have, for the first time, begun the attempt to learn a foreign language. Additionally, I have been tutoring speakers of a different foreign language in English.
​
I'm sure not an expert but I can already see that a literal translation is one or more of meaningless, wrong or too unwieldy (as RR in Message 59).
​
You have to translate the meaning.
​
Meanwhile, I'll check this idea with two different professional translaters working in different language. If they disagree I'll get back to you.

From professional Translators
Both that I know agree that you can NEVER translate literally. Don't know that it matters all that much but it might have a small bearing.
