Direct translation
In Vinay and Darbelnet's taxonomy, it is a translation method that encompasses calque, borrowing and literal translation. In relevance theory, direct translation is a kind of translation performed in situations where we need to translate not only what is said, but also how it is said. In machine translation, it is the replacement of a source text item by a target language item as a word-for-word translation.
