Additional Information About Translation
Translation is not simply taking words in one language and transposing them into another. It is a practice, an art, a talent.
There are a lot of resources available to the translator, like online dictionaries, glossaries, and encyclopedias. There are also many online sources where the translator can learn about the practice of translation, translation theory, and the history behind it.

- Word Reference
- Linguee
