During translation, we face two factors: Apprehensibility & Purity. Apprehensibility means a translation that every Persian speaker will understand it without problem. Purity means a translation that is pure Persian, without the use of Arabic or English words. The importance of these 2 factors are as below: | |||
1. Apprehensibility | |||
