Translation
Translation is the process of transforming a text into another language.
Translation (t9n) helps people understand a given term in their native language and is a vital part of the localization (l10n) process.
The localization process is often the most tedious one during software developement, as you can’t just introduce a few locale-based rules in your source code.
Translating texts to another language is hard. You need to know context/meaning. You can translate a word quickly, but without context, you can translate it the wrong way. For example, the term “book” can mean “reserve” or “piece of literature” in the Czech language. Both translations are correct, but which one is valid for a button? Context provides the right meaning.
