How it's used
Focuses specifically on the final product of a translation process rather than the act of translating itself. It is a formal term often found in professional, academic, or literary contexts, making it sound slightly stiff in casual daily conversation. When discussing the act of translating, use 翻譯 instead.

Common mistake
Avoid using this word to describe the process of translating, as it strictly refers to the resulting text. Beginners often confuse it with the verb 翻譯, which can function as both a noun and a verb.
