Answer:

Explanation: A translator's goal is to write a text in the translated version in such a manner that it doesn't lose its essence and at the same time, it has to maintain its authenticity as well. He/she also has to keep in mind that the tone and meaning of the work should not be affected or replaced either as it very often happens that if a text is translated into a different language it loses the crunch and freshness of the original work. So, that has to be the sole aim of the translator. Grammatically, While writing in a different language the sentences have to be brief and crispy, avoid the use of long phrases, write in active voice and be clear with your dates, etc. and never try to substitute the actual content as it may spoil the crux of the work.
