Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When aiming for clarity, favor "it translates to" or "it is translated into". These are more conventional and widely accepted.
Common error
Avoid using "in" after "translated" when you mean "translated to" or "translated into". "Translated in" usually implies the location where the translation happened, not the result of the translation.
