Question

question 1
imagine that a translator has encountered the french saying “être sur son 31” in a text she is translating. she translates that to “to be dressed to the nines,” a saying in english that means to be dressed really elaborately or stylishly. what is true of this translator’s choice?
she translated word for word
she translated the saying into an equivalent saying in english
she translated what the saying means into plain english
she borrowed the french saying to import it into the english translation

Explanation:

The translator took a French saying and found an English - language saying with a similar meaning. This is translating a saying into an equivalent saying in another language. It's not word - for - word translation as the words are different, not a plain English explanation of the meaning, and not borrowing the French saying.

Answer:

She translated the saying into an equivalent saying in English
