Definition: Indication of the type of blind experiment applied to an experimental study as double-blind.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: A double blind experiment is an experimental method used to ensure impartiality, and avoid errors arising from bias. The double blind experiment takes this precaution against bias one step further, by ensuring that the researcher does not know in which group a patient falls. Whilst the vast majority of researchers are professionals, there is always a chance that the researcher might subconsciously tip off a patient about the pill they were receiving. They may even favor giving the pill to patients that they thought had the best chance of recovery, skewing the results. Whilst nobody likes to think of scientists as dishonest, there is often pressure, from billion dollar drug companies and the fight for research grants, to generate positive results. This always gives a chance that a scientist might manipulate results, and try to show the research in a better light. Proving that the researcher carried out a double blind experiment reduces the chance of criticism.

Definition: Indication of the type of blind experiment applied to an experimental study as single-blind.
Source: NaLiDa

Example: The blind experiment is the minimum standard for any test involving subjects and opinions, and failure to adhere to this principle may result in experimental flaws. The idea is that the groups studied, including the control, should not be aware of the group in which they are placed. In medicine, when researchers are testing a new medicine, they ensure that the placebo looks, and tastes, the same as the actual medicine. There is strong evidence of a placebo effect with medicine, where, if people believe that they are receiving a medicine, they show some signs of improvement in health. A blind experiment reduces the risk of bias from this effect, giving an honest baseline for the research, and allowing a realistic statistical comparison. Ideally, the subjects would not be told that a placebo was being used at all, but this is regarded as unethical.
Source: http://www.experiment-resources.com/double-blind-experiment.html

Example: Single-blind describes experiments where information that could introduce bias or otherwise skew the result is withheld from the participants, but the experimenter will be in full possession of the facts. In a single-blind experiment, the individual subjects do not know whether they are so-called "test" subjects or members of an "experimental control" group. Single-blind experimental design is used where the experimenters either must know the full facts (for example, when comparing sham to real surgery) and so the experimenters cannot themselves be blind, or where the experimenters will not introduce further bias and so the experimenters need not be blind. However, there is a risk that subjects are influenced by interaction with the researchers – known as the experimenter's bias. Single-blind trials are especially risky in psychology and social science research, where the experimenter has an expectation of what the outcome should be, and may consciously or subconsciously influence the behavior of the subject.

Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: IQ/achievement tests IQ tests purport to be measures of intelligence, while achievement tests are measures of the use and level of development of use of the ability. IQ (or cognitive) tests and achievement tests are common norm-referenced tests. In these types of tests, a series of tasks is presented to the person being evaluated, and the person's responses are graded according to carefully prescribed guidelines. After the test is completed, the results can be compiled and compared to the responses of a norm group, usually composed of people at the same age or grade level as the person being evaluated. IQ tests which contain a series of tasks typically divide the tasks into verbal (relying on the use of language) and performance, or non-verbal (relying on eye–hand types of tasks, or use of symbols or objects). Examples of verbal IQ test tasks are vocabulary and information (answering general knowledge questions). Non-verbal examples are timed completion of puzzles (object assembly) and identifying images which fit a pattern (matrix reasoning). IQ tests (e.g., WAIS-IV, WISC-IV, Cattell Culture Fair III, Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities-III, Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales V) and academic achievement tests (e.g. WIAT, WRAT, Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement-III) are designed to be administered to either an individual (by a trained evaluator) or to a group of people (paper and pencil tests). The individually-administered tests tend to be more comprehensive, more reliable, more valid and generally to have better psychometric characteristics than group-administered tests. However, individually administered tests are more expensive to administer because of the need for a trained administrator (psychologist, school psychologist, or psychometrician).

Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: The case study research design have evolved over the past few years as a useful tool for investigating trends and specific situations in many scientific disciplines. The case study has been especially used in social science, psychology, anthropology and ecology. This method of study is especially useful for trying to test theoretical models by using them in real world situations. For example, if an anthropologist were to live amongst a remote tribe, whilst their observations might produce no quantitative data, they are still useful to science. WHAT IS A CASE STUDY? Basically, a case study is an in depth study of a particular situation rather than a sweeping statistical survey. It is a method used to narrow down a very broad field of research into one easily researchable topic. Whilst it will not answer a question completely, it will give some indications and allow further elaboration and hypothesis creation on a subject. The case study research design is also useful for testing whether scientific theories and models actually work in the real world. You may come out with a great computer model for describing how the ecosystem of a rock pool works but it is only by trying it out on a real life pool that you can see if it is a realistic simulation. For psychologists, anthropologists and social scientists they have been regarded as a valid method of research for many years. Scientists are sometimes guilty of becoming bogged down in the general picture and it is sometimes important to understand specific cases and ensure a more holistic approach to research.

Example: This type of study can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: A cohort study is a research program investigating a particular group with a certain trait, and observes over a period of time. Some examples of cohorts may be people who have taken a certain medication, or have a medical condition. Outside medicine, it may be a population of animals that has lived near a certain pollutant or a sociological study of poverty. A cohort study can delve even further and divide a cohort into sub-groups, for example, a cohort of smokers could be sub-divided, with one group suffering from obesity. In this respect, a cohort study is often interchangeable with the term naturalistic observation. There are two main sub-types of cohort study, the retrospective and the prospective cohort study. The major difference between the two is that the retrospective looks at phenomena that have already happened, whilst the prospective type starts from the present.

Example: This type of study can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: In fields such as anthropology, behavioral biology and ecology, watching a person or organism in a natural environment is essential. Most naturalistic observation is unobtrusive, such as a researcher setting up a camera to film the behavior of a badger underground. Most nature documentaries are examples of naturalistic observational study, where days, weeks or even years of film are analyzed and edited, to give an overview of the life cycle of the organism. There is often little attempt at analysis, quantitative or qualitative, but the observational study does uncover unknown phenomena and behaviors. Obtrusive naturalistic observational study is often used in anthropology, where a researcher lives with a remote tribe for a period of time and records their behavior. By living there, she is influencing their social interactions and habits, but can still make some excellent observations. Often, anthropologists will adopt the lifestyle of a particular group of people, in an attempt to understand why they have certain customs and beliefs. In technical terms, it would be difficult to follow people without discovery, and it would also be unethical to observe without consent, so obtrusive naturalistic observation is the only method that can be used with human subjects. Many of the producers of the recent glut of reality shows try to claim that their shows are psychological experiments, based around observational study. This is stretching the idea too far, as there are very few people who would not change their behavior when they are aware that a camera is watching. In these cases, it is difficult to make any realistic and valid observations about their lifestyle. Most criticisms of naturalistic observation are based around this principle, and an anthropologist or social scientist has to ensure that they intervene as little as possible.

Example: This type of study can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: This type of research draws a conclusion by comparing subjects against a control group, in cases where the researcher has no control over the experiment. A research study comparing the risk of developing lung cancer, between smokers and non-smokers, would be a good example of an observational study. The main reason for performing any observational research is due to ethical concerns. The main problem with observational studies is that the experimenter has no control over the composition of the control groups, and cannot randomize the allocation of subjects. This can create bias, and can also mask cause and effect relationships or, alternatively, suggest correlations where there are none (error in research).

Explanation: A personality test is a questionnaire or other standardized instrument designed to reveal aspects of an individual's character or psychological makeup. The first personality tests were developed in the early 20th century and were intended to ease the process of personnel selection, particularly in the armed forces. Since these early efforts, a wide variety of personality tests have been developed, notably the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the MMPI, and a number of tests based on the Five Factor Model of personality. Today, personality tests are used in a range of contexts, including individual and relationship counseling, career planning, and employee selection and development.

Explanation: A self-report study is a type of survey, questionnaire, or poll in which respondents read the question and select a response by themselves without researcher interference. A self report is any method which involves asking a participant about their feelings, attitudes, beliefs and so on. Examples of self reports are questionnaires and interviews; self reports are often used as a way of gaining participants responses in observational studies and experiments. Self-report instudies have validity problems. Patients may exaggerate symptoms in order to make their situation seem worse, or they may under-report the severity or frequency of symptoms in order to minimize their problems.

Explanation: A snap shot study is a study carried out over a very short period of time such as hours and days. In comparison, a longitudinal study is carried out over a longer period of time such as weeks, months or years. Snap shot studies are obviously quicker and cheaper to carry out than longitudinal approaches and rarely suffer from attrition. However, they only provide us with a ‘snapshot’ of human behaviour and experience and therefore are not so useful when investigating development.

Source: NaLiDa

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: Bayesian probability is the process of using probability to try to predict the likelihood of certain events occurring in the future. Unlike traditional probability, which uses a frequency to try to estimate probability, Bayesian probability is generally expressed as a percentage. In its most basic form, it is the measure of confidence, or belief, that a person holds in a proposition. Using Bayesian probability allows a researcher to judge the amount of confidence that they have in a particular result. Frequency probability, via the traditional null hypothesis restricts the researcher to yes and no answers. Bayesian methods are becoming another tool for assessing the viability of a research hypothesis. To use Bayesian probability, a researcher starts with a set of initial beliefs, and tries to adjust them, usually through experimentation and research. The original set of beliefs is then altered to accommodate the new information. This process sacrifices a little objectivity for flexibility, helping researchers to circumvent the need for a tortuous research design.

Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: A between subjects design is a way of avoiding the carryover effects that can plague within subjects designs, and they are one of the most common experiment types in some scientific disciplines, especially psychology. The basic idea behind this type of study is that participants can be part of the treatment group or the control group, but cannot be part of both. If more than one treatment is tested, a completely new group is required for each.

Source: NaLiDa

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: In a normal experiment, the order in which treatments are given can actually affect the behavior of the subjects or elicit a false response, due to fatigue or outside factors changing the behavior of many of the subjects. To counteract this, researchers often use a counterbalanced design, which reduces the chances of the order of treatment or other factors adversely influencing the results.

Source: NaLiDa

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: Traditional research methods generally study the effect of one variable at a time, because it is statistically easier to manipulate. However, in many cases, two factors may be interdependent, and it is impractical or false to attempt to analyze them in the traditional way. Social researchers often use factorial designs to assess the effects of educational methods, whilst taking into account the influence of socio-economic factors and background. Agricultural science, with a need for field-testing, often uses factorial designs to test the effect of variables on crops. In such large-scale studies, it is difficult and impractical to isolate and test each variable individually. Factorial experiments allow subtle manipulations of a larger number of interdependent variables. Whilst the method has limitations, it is a useful method for streamlining research and letting powerful statistical methods highlight any correlations.

Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: For geologists, social scientists and environmental biologists, amongst others, field experiments are an integral part of the discipline. As the name suggests, a field study is an experiment performed outside the laboratory, in the 'real' world. Unlike case studies and observational studies, a field experiment still follows all of the steps of the scientific process, addressing research problems and generating hypotheses. The obvious advantage of a field study is that it is practical and also allows experimentation, without artificially introducing confounding variables.

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: In a matched subjects designs, researchers attempt to emulate some of the strengths of within subjects designs and between subjects designs. A matched subject design uses separate experimental groups for each particular treatment, but relies upon matching every subject in one group with an equivalent in another. The idea behind this is that it reduces the chances of an influential variable skewing the results by negating it.

Explanation: Pretest-posttest designs are an expansion of the posttest only design with nonequivalent groups, one of the simplest methods of testing the effectiveness of an intervention. In this design, which uses two groups, one group is given the treatment and the results are gathered at the end. The control group receives no treatment, over the same period of time, but undergoes exactly the same tests. Statistical analysis can then determine if the intervention had a significant effect.

Definition: Indication of the design type used for the elicitation of experimental data as a quasi-experimental design.
Source: NaLiDa

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: Quasi experiments resemble quantitative and qualitative experiments, but lack random allocation of groups or proper controls, so firm statistical analysis can be very difficult. Quasi-experimental design involves selecting groups, upon which a variable is tested, without any random pre-selection processes.

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: In randomized controlled trials, the research participants are assigned by chance, rather than by choice, to either the experimental group or the control group. Randomization reduces bias as much as possible. Randomization is designed to “control” (reduce or eliminate if possible) bias by all means. The fundamental goal of randomization is to certain that each treatment is equally likely to be assigned to any given experimental unit.

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: Randomized controlled trials are one of the most efficient ways of reducing the influence of reducing the influence of external variables. In any research program, especially those using human subjects, these external factors can skew the results wildly and attempts by researchers to isolate and neutralize the influence of these variables can be counter-productive and magnify them. Any experiment that relies upon selecting subjects and placing them into groups is always at risk if the researcher is biased or simply incorrect. The researcher may fail to take into account all of the potential confounding variables, causing severe validity issues.

Source: NaLiDa

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: The term ‘repeated measures design’ is often interchanged with the term ‘within subjects design,’ although many researchers only class a subtype of the within subjects design, known as a crossover study, as a repeated measures design. The repeated measures design uses the same subjects with every condition of the research, including the control. This requires fewer participants and resources, and also decreases the effects of natural variation between individuals upon the results. Repeated subject designs are commonly used in longitudinal studies, over the long term, and in educational tests, where it is important to ensure that variability is low. Repeated subjects designs do have a couple of disadvantages, mainly that the subjects can become better at a task over time, known as practice effects or, conversely, they become worse through boredom and fatigue. In addition, if some of the subjects pull out before completing the second part, this can result in a sample group too small to have anystatistical significance. The crossover design is, by far, the most common type of repeated measures design, based around ensuring that all of the subjects receive all of the treatments. In an experiment with two treatments, the subjects would be randomized into two groups. The first group would be given treatment A followed by treatment B, the second would be given treatment B followed by treatment A. It is also possible to test more than two conditions, if required, and this experiment meets the requirements of randomization,manipulation and control.

Definition: Indication of the design type used for the elicitation of experimental data as a Solomon four group design.
Source: NaLiDa

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: The Solomon four group design is a way of avoiding some of the difficulties associated with the pretest-posttest design. This design contains two extra control groups, which serve to reduce the influence of confounding variables and allow the researcher to test whether the pretest itself has an effect on the subjects. Whilst much more complex to set up and analyze, this design type combats many of the internal validity issues that can plague research. It allows the researcher to exert complete control over the variables and allows the researcher to check that the pretest did not influence the results. The Solomon four group test is a standard pretest-posttest two-group design and the posttest only control design. The various combinations of tested and untested groups with treatment and control groups allows the researcher to ensure that confounding variables and extraneous factors have not influenced the results.

Source: NaLiDa

Example: This type of design can be found, for instance, in experimental studies or, more specific, in the field of psychology, psycholinguistics, medicine, etc.
Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: Some studies have tried to determine how genetics and environmental factors contribute to intelligence, aggression or substance addictions. Most of the twin’s studies compare identical twins, having 100% genetic similarity, with non identical twins, with about 50% genetic similarity. The researcher compares the occurrence of an individual trait between identical and fraternal twins. If the identical twins show more similarity for this trait than the non-identical twins, then the excess is assumed to be down to genetic factors. This type of analysis would then allow the researchers to estimate the heritability of specific traits and quantify the effect of genetic factors on the individual trait. Psychologists have long known that a twin study is not a true experimental design, but it has led to some interesting insights into the influence of genes on human behavior. For this method, a number of assumptions have to be made; that the identical twins share identical DNA profiles, and that the environmental factors are the same for all participants.

Source: NaLiDa

Explanation: In a within subject design, unlike a between subjects design, every single participant is subjected to every single treatment, including the control. This gives as many data sets as there are conditions for each participant; the fact that subjects act as their own control provides a way of reducing the amount of error arising from natural variance between individuals.

Definition: A set of data categories selected from the DCR.
Source: 12620:2009, 3.2.3

Explanation: A DCS can represent the data categories used within a thematic domain (3.4.3) or a selection of data categories used for a specific application or project. In the latter case, the DCS may draw data categories from more than one thematic domain.
Source: 12620:2009, 3.2.3

Explanation: A DCS can be expressed as a simple list of data categories, or it can be output in a form that contains the entire content of their associated data category specifications, thus incorporating the full set of constraints associated with the DCS. It can also be expressed using a schema notation such as W3C XML Schema[11] or Relax NG[12], which also comprises the list of data categories together with their associated constraints. It can also be used to generate other kinds of output, such as a human reader-friendly HTML output.

Explanation: Controlled language facilitates clear, concise, technical communication by for instance, adhering to a one term-one meaning principle. It can be accurately and efficiently analyzed by a computer, but is expressive enough to allow natural usage. Advantages can include consistency in style and reading level, reduced training times, increased readability for non-native speakers, as well as improved machine translation effectiveness and translatability for human translators.

PID: http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-4003

Identifier: interlingualMachineTranslation   Type: simple   Origin: MT   Profiles: Private, Metadata, Translation

Is a: machine translation

Definition: A mode of machine translation that (at least theoretically) initially transforms the source text the into an interlingua, i.e., an abstract language-independent representation, and then generates the target language text from the interlingua. Discussion: The main disadvantage of this strategy is the difficulty of creating an adequate interlingua. It should be both abstract and independent of the source and target languages. The more languages added to the translation system, and the more different they are, the more potent the interlingua must be to express all possible translation directions. Another problem is that it is difficult to extract meaning from texts in the original languages to create the intermediate representation. Many translation and even MT experts are highly sceptical of the possibility of applying the interlinagual approach. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingual_machine_translation

Definition: The process of understanding and analyzing a spoken or signed message and re-expressing that message faithfully, accurately and objectively in another language, taking the cultural and social context into account.
Source: ASTM F 2089-01, 3.1
Note: Although ASTM F 2089-01 implied a preference for "interpretation," current consensus trends toward "interpreting" as the less ambiguous term. The product of the interpreting process is, however, interpretation. See http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-4052.

Explanation: There are several different branches of interpretation: (1) legal, (2) conference, (3) medical/mental health, (4) escort, (5) seminar, and (6) business. Legal interpretation is divided into two main categories, judicial (commonly known as court interpreting) and quasi-judicial (interpreting that takes place in other legal settings). Judiciary interpreters work in courtrooms and in out-of-court settings, in any matter related to law or a legal case.

Explanation: Often education interpreting is found between a school's faculty and staff and the parents of the students. This can occur during parent/teacher conferences, or on a larger scale at a school assembly. While many foreign-born students who came with their parents to America have learned English, the parents of these students have often received no training in the English language, and therefore require interpreters to be present whenever there is interaction between the parents and the faculty and staff.

Is a: interpreting

Definition: Interpreting strategy that enables the interpreter to deliver interpretation via telephone by being added to a conference call.
Source: http://lrc.wfu.edu/community_interpreting/pages/telephone.htm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_interpretation

Explanation: Telephone interpreting may be used in place of on-site interpreting in some cases, especially when no on-site interpreter is readily available at the location where services are needed. However, telephone interpreting is more commonly used for situations in which all parties who wish to communicate are already speaking to one another via telephone (e.g. applications for insurance or credit cards that are taken over the phone, inquiries from consumers to businesses that take place via telephone, etc.)
Source: http://lrc.wfu.edu/community_interpreting/pages/telephone

Explanation: Remote interpreting (telephone/video interpreting) requires many of the same skills as other forms of interpreting, but it occurs without the interpersonal face-to-face interaction. The main difficulty lies in the fact that, like the simultaneous interpreter, the remote interpreter must be able to relay all messages solely through verbal means. Remote interpreting, usually used in medical settings, is found less in community interpreting settings than in the business world, yet still may be used for some community interactions. Many companies that provide linguistic services such as interpreting and translation also provide remote interpreting services.

Is a: translation

Definition: A localization procedure through which the translator replaces a culture-specific aspect of a product, service, or document, such as a software utility, color, icon, or other cultural artifact from the source culture with an equivalent appropriate to the target culture to accommodate the expectations of the target audience.
Source: ASTM 2575-06

Explanation: In some cases, the translator may have to create or supply an equivalent when the source text refers to something that does not apply to the target culture, for example, replacing a graphic image of a Caucasian using a product with an image of an Asian using the product or replacing an English thesaurus with a French thesaurus. Note that the term adaptation is sometimes used to refer to the adaptation of a translation to fit a particular medium when the original cannot be changed or recreated to accommodate a complete and faithful translation (for example, adapting the translation of a video script to suit a video originally shot in another language). Also, the term adaptation is sometimes used in the sense of internationalization in which a source text is adapted to facilitate translation.
Source: ASTM 2575-06

Explanation: Adaptation is often a question of degree, from minor cultur-specific changes to extended rewriting or redesign of the source text or layout, in which case there is a trend to speak of "transcreation."

Identifier: pivotLanguageTranslation   Type: simple   Origin: Translation   Profiles: Private, Metadata, Translation

Is a: translation

Definition: Human or machine translation strategy where a natural, resp. artificial language is used as an intermediary language for translation between many different languages – to translate between any pair of languages A and B, one translates A to the pivot language P, then from P to B.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_language

Explanation: Using a pivot language avoids the combinatorial explosion of having translators across every combination of the supported languages, as the number of combinations of language is linear (n − 1), rather than quadratic () – one need only know the language A and the pivot language P (and someone else the language B and the pivot P), rather than needing a different translator for every possible combination of A and B.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_language

Explanation: In localization environments, it is common to use English as a pivot language (language B) because more translators know English as a second language and more parallel text corpora match to English texts, thus making it easier both to find human translators and to develop parallel corpora to support statistical machine translation.

There are cases in which there is a project manager on the requester side and one on the translation services provider (vendor) side. In some cases, the project manager and the translator are the same person. The responsibilities of the project manager are to ensure that all the specifications are clearly defined, assign terminology research as needed, and coordinate the members of the translation team, such as the translator, editor, and the desktop publishing specialist. Coordination also includes assuring that the project is completed on time, on budget, and in compliance with the agreed-upon specifications.

Is a: translation

Definition: The creation of functionally equivalent, but linguistically non-equivalent texts.
Source: LISA

Definition: A form of translation, closer to copywriting, resulting in a text linguistically and culturally adapted for its intended audience designed to have the same impact on the target audience as the original source text.
Source: http://transcreationblog.net/2010/02/11/transcreation-now-youre-talking-my-language/

Example: In an English translation of a German text describing term formation, the deletion of irrelevant sections and the additions of new ones reflecting specifically English rules and usage constitutes transcreation because the translator must write some material "from scratch."
Source: SEW

Explanation: Transcreation is a form of adaptation, mainly used in drama contexts, is defined as “ the ‘freest’ form of translation” and one where “… the SL [source language] culture [is] converted to the TL [target language] culture and the text rewritten” (p. 46).The idea of rewriting a text to adapt it to the norms of the target culture, to the point that little trace is left of its source, seems to be at the root of transcreation, too. Nowadays often used in advertising and the media, transcreation is a portmanteau word made by combining together translation and creation, in order to emphasise the considerable amount of creativity required in the process.

Explanation: In many cases, the editor can also be asked to make changes when necessary to improve the naturalness of the language or accommodate the specified register of the translated text. The editing function is sometimes confused with proofreading, which is essentially a monolingual activity. Furthermore, there are several terms other than editor (for example, reviser, reviewer, and so forth) used to designate persons who perform various aspects of the editing activity.
