What's the difference between translation and transliteration?

Translation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of translating, removing, or transferring; removal; also, the state of being translated or removed; as, the translation of Enoch; the translation of a bishop.
  • (n.) The act of rendering into another language; interpretation; as, the translation of idioms is difficult.
  • (n.) That which is obtained by translating something a version; as, a translation of the Scriptures.
  • (n.) A transfer of meaning in a word or phrase, a metaphor; a tralation.
  • (n.) Transfer of meaning by association; association of ideas.
  • (n.) Motion in which all the points of the moving body have at any instant the same velocity and direction of motion; -- opposed to rotation.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) These lysates are comparable to those of Escherichia coli in transcriptional and translational fidelity and efficiency in response to a given template DNA.
  • (2) Enhanced sensitivity to ITDs should translate to better-defined azimuthal receptive fields, and therefore may be a step toward achieving an optimal representation of azimuth within the auditory pathway.
  • (3) The mtRF-1 could translate all of the known termination codons in the rat mitochondrial genome.
  • (4) RNA transcribed in vitro from the early region of bacteriophage T3 or T7 was translated by cytoplasmic ribosomes which synthesized protein in cell-free systems prepared from mammalian cells and wheat germ.
  • (5) Translation: 'We do less, you get yourself sorted.'"
  • (6) Release of nsP4 from P1234 appears to be independent of the other cleavages and occurs primarily immediately after translation.
  • (7) The 21K peptide had little direct effect on the selection of promoters in vitro as measured by this technique, but it dramatically increased the translatability of the product.
  • (8) It is proposed that in A. brasilense, the PII protein and glutamine synthetase are involved in a post-translational modification of NifA.
  • (9) Three short reviews by Freud (1904c, 1904d, 1905f) are presented in English translation.
  • (10) The sequence results confirm in vitro translation of 27-, 50-, and 37-kDa products but do not account for the observed 90-kDa product.
  • (11) Moreover, nick-translated [32-P]-pCS75, which is a pUC9 derivative containing a PstI insert with L and S subunit genes (for RuBisCO) from A. nidulans, hybridizes at very high stringency with restriction fragments from chromosomal DNA of untransformed and transformed cells as does the 32P-labeled PstI fragment itself.
  • (12) These results would suggest that N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal proteolytic cleavage are important post-translational modifications of the forms of Amia beta-endorphin.
  • (13) Translation of the tnsC ORF reveals strong homology to a consensus sequence for nucleotide binding sites as well as a region of similarity to a transcriptional activator (MalT).
  • (14) The results indicate that the sequence between nucleotide positions 101 and 332 in the 5' untranslated region of HCV RNA plays an important role in efficient translation.
  • (15) Subcloning of pLR beta 118 into a transcription vector with subsequent in vitro transcription and translation using the reticulocyte lysate system in the presence of microsomes followed by immunoprecipitation with mAb OX6 and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed the intact RT1.B beta I-chain.
  • (16) Immunochemical analysis of the translation products indicated that phenobarbital induced a 30-fold increase in UDP-GT mRNA.
  • (17) In all cases studied, the presence of a translation termination codon correlates with a decrease in the steady-state level of mRNA.
  • (18) DNA fragments coding for signal peptides with different lengths (28, 31, 33 and 41 amino acids from the translation initiator Met) were prepared and fused with the E. coli beta-lactamase structural gene.
  • (19) The 3' end of the cell cycle regulated mRNA terminates immediately following the region of hyphenated dyad symmetry typical of most histone mRNAs, whereas the constitutively expressed mRNA has a 1798 nt non-translated trailer that contains the same region of hyphenated dyad symmetry but is polyadenylated.
  • (20) The translation of mRNA for S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase was studied using a polyamine-depleted reticulocyte lysate supplemented with mRNA from rat prostate and the antiserum to precipitate the proteins corresponding to S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase.

Transliteration


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or product of transliterating, or of expressing words of a language by means of the characters of another alphabet.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The name of these drugs, Chin-I, dialectal Kim-Iya, was Arabicized as Kimiya and transliterated Chemeia by the Copts.
  • (2) Almost certainly, a native Russian speaker wrote the original material, correctly transliterating the Russian “f” as “ph”.
  • (3) It has the whole Chinese text with transliteration and literal translation.
  • (4) Surgical Papyrus known as "The Edwin Smith Papyrus" was published in facsimile and hieroglyphic transliteration with translation and commentary by James Henry Breasted in 1930.
  • (5) It was first accepted by Bucharic speaking Copts in Egypt who transliterated Kimiya = Chemeia, pronouncing it as the Arabs did.
  • (6) In a comparable moment earlier this year, in the Photopia gallery near Cairo's presidential palace, the photographer Bashir Wagih exhibited a provocative series of photographs entitled "A7a" – a transliteration of the Arabic equivalent of "fuck".
