Translation

Category: Linguistic

Translation is accurately converting meaning — not just words — from one language to another while preserving tone, register, and intent. It's assessed with realistic passages (technical, conversational, and business writing) rather than isolated vocabulary, since real translation work rarely looks like a word list.
