3 problems when translating:
• The source language text may use a generic term but the receptor
language may only have a more specific term in that semantic area.
• The source language uses a specific term but the receptor language
only has a generic word available in that semantic area.
• The receptor language word used in the translation is intended to be
understood in a generic sense but it is interpreted by the receptor
language speakers in a specific sense.
Ex: Stated specific mean to be generic
"Daily bread"
--Bread is used a specific word but represents a general idea, food
