book translations
Works in translation
Book translations are versions of books rendered from one language into another.
The phrase typically refers either to the practice of translating books or to the translated editions themselves: The publisher specializes in book translations from Japanese.
A book translation preserves the original work's content while adapting it for readers of a different language.
