Translation
The copy made in one language of what has been written, or spoken in another.
In pleading, when a libel or an agreement, written in a foreign language, must be averred, it is necessary that a translation of it should also be given.
In evidence, when a witness is unable to speak the English language so as to convey his ideas, a translation of his testimony must be made. In that case, an interpreter should be sworn to translate to him, on oath, the questions propounded to him, and to translate to the court and jury his answers.
It has been determined that a copyright may exist in a translation, as a literary work.
In the ecclesiastical law, translation denotes the removal from one place to another; as, the bishop was translated from the diocese of A, to that of B. In the civil law, translation signifies the transfer of property.
Swinburne applies the term translation to the bestowing of a legacy which had been given to one, on another; this is a species of ademption, but it differs from it in this, that there may be an ademption without a translation, but there can be no translation without an ademption.
By translation is also meant the transfer of property, but in this sense it is seldom used.

To go from RNA to protein, translation is needed. Translation is the process by which the genetic code carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) directs the production of proteins from amino acids.

The process of turning instructions from mRNA, base by base, into chains of amino acids that then fold into proteins. This process takes place in the cytoplasm, on structures called ribosomes.

The process of converting the RNA sequence into the linear sequence of amino acids in a protein product. Translation start site contains a codon (AUG) for methionine but not all proteins start with a methionine as most of the time it is cleaved off post-translationally.

Translation
A code whose domain and range consists of expressions of different languages (rather than of the unordered characters of an alphabet ) and whose aim is to bring information equivalent expressions into correspondence. Translation usually focuses only on some, but not all, variables of information, e.g., poetic equivalences, semantic equivalences, pragmatic equivalences. (Krippendorff )

Translation
Translation is the interpretation of the meaning of a text in one language (the "source text") and the production, in another language, of an equivalent text (the "target text," or "translation") that communicates the same message.
Translation must take into account a number of constraints, including , the rules of grammar of the two languages, their writing conventions, and their idioms.
Traditionally translation has been a human activity, though attempts have been made to computerize or otherwise automate the translation of natural-language texts (machine translation) or to use computers as an aid to translation (computer-assisted translation).
