英訳

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 英訳, read えいやく, combines English 英 with translation 訳, specifying English as the target language.
• Basic usage: It denotes translating text from another language into English, as in 案内文を英訳する.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Direction and roles
  • English is the target, not the source language; translating from English into Japanese is 和訳.
