Fidelity vs. transparency

Faithfulness pertains to the extent to which a movement accurately renders the pregnant of the seed book, without adding to or subtracting from it, without exacerbating or weakening any construct of the significance, and otherwise without distorting it.

Transparency pertains to the extent to which a version appears to a indigen writer of the reference communication to jazz originally been holographic in that module, and conforms to the module's grammatical, syntactic and expression conventions.

A move that meets the archetypal criterion is said to be a "faithful translation"; a move that meets the secondment criterion, an "idiomatic movement". The two qualities are not necessarily mutually selective.

The criteria victimised to try the faithfulness of a movement diverge according to the issue, the exactitude of the model contents, the typewrite, duty and use of the book, its literate qualities, its multiethnic or humanities context, and so onward.
