== Statement ==<br />
Translation does not equal transformation.<br />
<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
To clarify that expressing law in another language or format does not change its substance, authority, or origin.<br />
<br />
== Explanation ==<br />
Words may shift when moved between languages. <br />
However, the underlying relationships, responsibilities, and precedents remain the same.<br />
<br />
Description is not alteration.<br />
<br />
== Function ==<br />
This principle protects law from gradual redefinition through terminology, simplification, or adaptation.<br />
<br />
It allows communication while preventing substitution.<br />
<br />
== What This Prevents ==<br />
* drift in meaning <br />
* replacement of original concepts <br />
* administrative rewriting <br />
* assumption that new wording creates new authority<br />
<br />
== Relationship to Accessibility ==<br />
Translation can assist learning and cooperation. <br />
Help with understanding does not grant power to modify.<br />
<br />
== Result ==<br />
Law continues to stand in its original foundation regardless of how it is described elsewhere.<br />
<br />
== Cross-References ==<br />
* [[Law retains its meaning within its own legal order]]<br />
* [[Interpretation follows ayaawx and adaawx]]<br />
* [[Original language retains priority in interpretation]]<br />
* [[External frameworks do not redefine internal law]]</div>Amusterer
