Hey everyone, I have a question.
What are the advantages to translate to/of translating something by the meaning and not word by for word?

Word by word translations don't work.
If I were to translate the following sentence to English, it would have a totally different meaning.
Hola, me llamo Octavio y tengo 20 años. Ahora mismo estoy realizando un trabajo que presentaré al profesor en dos semanas.
Hello, I call myself Octavio and I have 20 years. Right now I am realizing a work that I will present to the teacher in two weeks.

The whole use of language is to convey meaning, and if word for word translations takes away from the meaning, there isn't really a need to learn it.

In my opinion, to keep the meaning/message of the word/paragraph constant.
