The aspects of languages among others are changing cohesion, adding information, naturalizing, altering the level of explicitness and emphasis on stylistic appropriateness. The study that the researcher/translator has done is an annotated translation. The annotated translation is chosen by the researcher/translator so as to widen his experience on translation.
