Study Notes

Modulation

Modulation is a variation of the message, obtained by changing the way something is described to match the meaning.
The meaning stays the same.
Example: You're wrong → you're not right

Equivalence

Equivalence uses different words to say the same thing.
Often used for idioms or expressions.
Example: it's raining cats and dogs → it's raining heavily
Break a leg → good luck

Adaptation

Adaptation changes something cultural in the source language to make sense for the target language.
It's done so the target language audience understands better.
Example: He drank sake → He drank wine
They celebrated a harvest festival → They celebrated Thanksgiving
