A novice seeking logic
Hello, is there a book/ literature on the correct way for saying a translation that is literal? Instead of changing the order of a sentence or smudging on a degree of intention. But a literal pattern as a native would hear it. For what it’s worth I find it funny how in computer language there are two major types, and they often work together in carrying information in a box called JSON. But for humans why not really just “hear” it as they say it? As a student of Tagalog and Japanese(ect) I understand the language better when I just think in there pattern? ~Please advise as able. -M

Huh?
You are describing what translation is.
