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 of literary works (novels, short stories, plays, poems, etc.) is often considered a literary pursuit in its own right.
Writers, among many who have made a name for themselves as literary translators, include Vladimir Nabokov, Jorge Luis Borges and Charles Baudelaire.
