What are different types of translations called?
Solution 1:
Here are some plausible answers that seem to have formal definitions:
- Could be either Literary or Semantic Translation. Although "Semantic" wouldn't seem to describe a method that may lose meaning, apparently this type of translation prioritizes the meaning of words and sentences over any broader meaning.
- Idiomatic Translation
- Literal Translation
Unfortunately, the definitions don't seem to be mutually exclusive, and might not be as clear-cut as you would wish.
