But, as the face of the world has grown ever more familiar, have we come to think of the map merely as a literal translation?

I've been using a new translation that the theatre had done for me - it's a literal translation so it's unperformable but accurate - and have been writing this anew.

So the literal translation would be an across-carrying.

Nevertheless, in certain contexts a translator may consciously seek to produce a literal translation.

A more literal translation of the text indicates only the speed of the movement of the notes.
