What Does It Mean?

Thank you for your great forum, Linguistics.
I am very happey to ask you a question.

What is :
Rehashment-based Translation?
  

Top answer

Never heard of it, Guest, but it has the odour of tongue-in-cheek etymology. 'Rehash' means (noun) 'old material that is slightly reworked and used again', or (verb) 'present or use over, with no or few changes'. Such 'rehashment-based translation' would be based on previous translations, with little improvement or innovative insight.

  • It would not be a complimentary phrase.
  • That is just my guess, however.
