What kind of translation makes a good translation?
A good translation is imperceptible. It reads as if the book were written in the language into which it has been translated. Within the text, the translator is invisible. A good translation removes the barrier imposed by an unfamiliar language and allows the writer to communicate directly with the foreign reader.
How do you judge a good translation?
A good translation flows well, uses appropriate language and feels as though it was written for the intended audience. A poor translation, on the other hand, could be peppered with grammatical mistakes, include sentences where the meaning has been lost and feel stilted and clunky to the reader.
What is excellent translation?
/ˈeksələnt ˈएक्सलअन्ट्/ adjective. Something that is excellent is very good indeed. श्रेष्ठउत्कृष्ट
