Total equivalence is when...
You have an exact, word-for word translation, and the literal meaning and the message are the same in both languages
71
Partial equivalence is when...
You do not have a word-for-word translation, but the literal meaning and the message is the same in both the original and the target language
72
Non-equivalence is when...
You do not have a word-for-word translation, there is a different literal meaning, yet the basic message stays the same in both languages
73
Word-for-word translation is when...
You translate each individual word as if they were not part of a whole phrase
74
Literal translation is when...
The grammatical structure remains and you used the same literal vocab. The meaning may be lost because the metaphor doesn’t necessarily make sense in the target language.
75
Faithful translation is when...
You keep the grammatical structure. The message is never lost because you keep the context of the target language in mind and may change the vocab slightly.
76
Semantic translation is when...
You beat in mind the cultural context of the target language and may use universal language so that the message is understood.
The message is never lost.
77
Communicative translation is when...
You focus on the cultural context of the target language. This may involve changing the vocab, structure and literal meaning so that it is culturally appropriate.
78
Free translation is when...
There are no structural restrictions. You re-write the message with new vocab and new structure.
79
Adaptation is when...
You change the message so that it appeals to the target audience’s language
