retranslate
Convert text anew
To retranslate is to translate something again, typically a text that has already been rendered into another language.
This usually means producing a fresh translation from the original source: The committee decided to retranslate the Bible for modern readers.
Less commonly, it can mean translating something back into its original language, or translating a translation.
