Definition
"Liberal" in the context of language translation refers to an approach that prioritizes conveying the general meaning and intent of the original text, rather than a strict, word-for-word translation. It allows for flexibility to adapt expressions naturally in the target language.
Etymology
The word "liberal" comes from the Latin 'liberalis,' meaning 'of freedom' or 'generous.' Originally used to describe qualities befitting a free person, it evolved to indicate openness and flexibility, which fits well with the idea of a 'liberal' translation approach that values freedom from strict literal constraints.
