  1. R-62 · Distinction · directed

    Equivalence → Untranslatability

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Equivalence identifies a correspondence under stated translation criteria. Untranslatability marks limits on that correspondence. It can apply to a particular feature even when other aspects can be conveyed.

  2. R-164 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Foreignisation → Untranslatability

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Foreignisation can keep differences visible where familiar equivalents are lacking. Untranslatability names a limit to be investigated, not an automatic justification for every rendering marked as foreign.

  3. R-297 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Lexical gap → Untranslatability

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A lexical gap can make it difficult to find a single-word equivalent. A paraphrase may still convey the intended sense. The question of untranslatability is what, if anything, remains difficult to carry across, such as tone or a pattern of use.

  4. R-437 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Language-situated lemma (Sprachlemm) → Untranslatability

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    The Atlas term Sprachlemm draws attention to the context-specific history of a lemma’s meanings and uses. Untranslatability identifies possible limits on what can be conveyed in another language.
    Evidence basis

  5. R-472 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Transcreation → Untranslatability

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Transcreation can respond to effects or expressions that are difficult to transfer directly. Untranslatability helps identify the difference an adaptation has to address. The chosen adaptation still needs a justification.

  6. R-484 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Untranslatability → Equivalence

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Untranslatability identifies a limit to a particular correspondence. Equivalence can still be assessed under stated criteria. The lack of a direct word equivalent leaves other ways to convey meaning open.
    Evidence basis
    Gemeinsamer fachlicher Kontinent (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  7. R-485 · Subject neighbour · directed

    Untranslatability → Skopos

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Skopos helps determine which differences matter in translation. Whether something is untranslatable depends on the task, medium and intended use, as well as the wording of the source.
