The clearer meaning of the word "reformulation"

Hi. Emotion: smile Can someone tell me please what is the clearer meaning of the word "reformulation" in this sentence? Can it mean "translatation", or "interpretation"? I need to find some other synonym to translate it into my language.
This is the sentence:
