Rhymed Translation
The method of translating- rhythmical patterns from SL to TL is known as rhymed 
translation. For instance, if a translator wants to translate the following Tamil lines of 
Bharathi,

---

136 
centamil na:Tenum po:tinilee
inpatte:n vantu pa:yutu ka:tinile
he should have in mind the rhythmic words pootinile, kaatinile and give equivalent rhythmic 
words while translating.
Interpretation
If the translator interferes with the ideas and thoughts of the S.L. text while 
'translating it then that type of translation is called "interpretation". It is classified on the basis 
of the method of translation. An interpretative translator would interpret the ideas and 
concepts of the source text according to his ideological orientation. This may be considered 
as interference as well on the part of the translator. Interpretative translations are wide spread 
in the field of literary translation since literature offers enormous scope for interpretation.
Literal Translation
Word to word translation is nothing but rewording or replacing the SL text with 
equivalent words of TL. This will not fare well in all situations or circumstances and in most 
cases it would result in inaccurate translation only. This is because literal translation fails 
while translating metaphors and idioms which are essentially language specific in nature.
Amplification
Amplification is a method of translating the content from the source language to the 
target language and supplying detailed information in relation to the context of the SL item. 
Much additional information may be added to the SL text when the method of translation 
resorted to is amplification. Sometimes it may be helpful for a stranger to know more of 
certain topics characteristic of the source culture.
