translationele

Translationele is a Dutch adjective meaning related to translation. It describes aspects connected to translating or the broader idea of transferring meaning between languages, and it is also used in biomedical Dutch to refer to translational research—the process of applying basic scientific findings to clinical practice. The term can modify nouns in phrases such as translationele processen (translation processes), translationele vaardigheden (translation skills), or translationele studies (translation studies).

In Dutch, related terms include vertaling (translation) and vertaalwetenschap or translatiewetenschap (translation studies). The adjective form is commonly encountered as translationeel or translationele, with the -e ending used in inflected positions before plural or definite noun phrases, for example de translationele aspecten.

Usage notes: translationele is primarily a descriptive term in academic or professional contexts. In English-language discussions, equivalents such as translational or translation-related are often used. In Dutch, the distinction between translationele concepts and purely linguistic translation is typically made explicit through context and related terminology.
