Get to Know: Translation Ideology, Method and Technique

Using a phrase that is different in the source and target languages to express the same meaning is known as modulation. By using modulation, the translator can shift the message's point of view without changing its content or making the target text's reader feel unpleasant. Within the same language, it is frequently used. A reader will respond, "Yes, this is how we say it in our language" when they encounter this kind of point-of-view shift in a message.
