retranslating
Rendering anew linguistically
Retranslating is translating something again—either back into its original language or into the same target language with fresh interpretation.
A novel might be retranslated when an earlier version feels dated: The publisher commissioned someone to retranslate Tolstoy for modern readers.
Retranslating can also mean converting back: retranslating the encoded data into readable form.
