Uudelleenkääntää

Uudelleenkääntää is a Finnish verb that translates to "to retranslate" or "to translate again" in English. It describes the act of performing a translation of a text that has already been translated. This might be done for various reasons, such as to improve the quality of an existing translation, to adapt it to a different target audience or style, or to compare different translation approaches.

The process of uudelleenkääntää can involve comparing the original source text with one or more existing translations, identifying discrepancies, and then creating a new translation that aims to be more accurate, fluent, or contextually appropriate. It is a common practice in professional translation workflows, particularly for important documents or when quality assurance is a high priority. Sometimes, a new translation might be commissioned simply because the previous one is outdated or no longer meets the client's needs. This verb highlights the iterative nature that translation can sometimes take.
