trans·la·tion
(trăns-lā′shən, trănz-)
Translation, the synthesis of protein from RNA. Hereditary information is contained in the nucleotide sequence of DNA in a code. The coded information from DNA is copied faithfully during transcription into a form of RNA known as messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into chains of amino acids.

Please note: We are currently transitioning to a new subtitling platform. Applications to join the program will be paused until further notice. The TED team on Amara will not be accessible after December 31, 2020. In the coming weeks, we will share the steps you can take to get started on the new platform — no need to sign up for CaptionHub at this time. Thank you for your patience!
TED Translators are a global community of volunteers who subtitle TED Talks, and enable the inspiring ideas in them to crisscross languages and borders.
