Meaning That Survives

Translation quality is not sameness. It is disciplined survival. This professional field guide shows translators, editors, localization managers, and informed clients how to decide what must remain invariant, what may change, and how to make quality decisions traceable.

It brings source–projection discipline to terminology, necessary loss, reviewer disagreement, AI-assisted translation, geometry-sensitive QA, and final delivery.
