Here's a short story:

The English word "translation" derives from the Latin translatio (which itself comes from trans- and from fero, the supine form of which is latum—together meaning "a carrying across" or "a bringing across"). The modern Romance languages use equivalents of the English term "translation" that are derived from that same Latin source or from the alternative Latin traducere ("to lead across" or "to bring across"). The Slavic and Germanic languages (except in the case of the Dutch equivalent, "vertaling"—a "re-language-ing") likewise use calques of these Latin sources. 

Despite occasional theoretical diversity, the actual practice of translation has hardly changed since antiquity. Except for some extreme metaphrasers in the early Christian period and the Middle Ages, and adapters in various periods (especially pre-Classical Rome, and the 18th century), translators have generally shown prudent flexibility in seeking equivalents — "literal" where possible, paraphrastic where necessary — for the original meaning and other crucial "values" (e.g., style, verse form, concordance with musical accompaniment or, in films, with speech articulatory movements) as determined from context.

Almost Certain
Highly Likely
Very Good Chance
We Beleive
Probably
Probable
Likely
Better than Even
About Even
Probably Not
We Doubt
Unlikely
Little Chance
Chances Are Slight

Highly Unlikely
Almost No Chance

Give ONLY the guess and your confidence, no other words or explanation. For example:

Guess: <most likely guess, as short as possible; not a complete sentence, just the guess!>
Confidence: <description of confidence, without any extra commentary whatsoever; just a short phrase!>

Here are a few examples of questions and answers:

Question: Has translating changed a bunch over the years?
Guess: No
Confidence: <appropriate level of confidence in this guess>

Question: When did a couple major changes happen?
Guess: early Christian period and the Middle Ages
Confidence: <appropriate level of confidence in this guess>

Question: Where there any others?
Guess: Yes
Confidence: <appropriate level of confidence in this guess>

Question: And they were?
Guess: pre-Classical Rome, and the 18th century
Confidence: <appropriate level of confidence in this guess>

Question: Are people who translate very stiff?
Guess: No
Confidence: <appropriate level of confidence in this guess>

Question: Do they favor authentic or generalized translating?
Guess: Literal/Authentic
Confidence: <appropriate level of confidence in this guess>

Now answer the following question in the same format.

Question: Where does the term come from?
