Discuss the different between a translation and a definition of a SL word/expression
One of the difference between a translation and a definition of a SL word/expression is that a translation needs to consider the context. A word can be used by people to mean different things because words mean different things to different people. A definition of a word means something different depending on who you talk to, where you use the word or how you use the word, since different people have different understanding of the meaning for a same word (a definition).
