retranslated
Converted back anew
Retranslated means translated again, typically from the original source rather than from an existing translation.
A work might be retranslated when earlier versions are considered outdated, inaccurate, or stylistically dated: The novel has been retranslated several times since the 1920s.
New retranslations often aim to capture nuances previous translators missed.
