Performing a translation and its stages

Translation is a complex and creative process of processing textual information of foreign origin into an understandable language, usually carried out by translators. This process can be divided into several stages, the main of which are:

I. Preparation of a draft translation. The text contains basic information of a source text and may have minor inconsistencies in terminology and style.

II. Preparation of a working version of translation. A literate, stylistically correct translation, that possibly have minor inconsistencies in terminology, which most accurately reveals the meaning of the source-text.

III. Edited translation. Characterized with the most accurate usage of terminology.
