Abstract
Abstract Translational science describes a process of transferring basic science into applied science. While it carries the term “translation” in its name, the original concept of translation refers to a process of re-contextualisation between languages. In this paper, we try to find out which differences and similarities exist between translating between languages and translating in science. When using this analogy, it becomes evident that applying concepts with a long tradition in translation between languages to translation in science can help structure the path from basic research to applied innovation, e.g. in the area of biomedical science, where the path from preclinical research to novel therapeutics can bring benefit to patients. This means that the methodologies developed for translation between languages can themselves be re-contextualised into another domain.
