Usage notes

• The third sense is often used in certain media industries such as software (including video games), marketing, animeTemplate:, and manga in juxtaposition with Template:M to imply a less literal and more culturalized rendering of the source text. However, in traditional literary and academic contexts, the terms Template:M and Template:M are preferred, and both fall under the umbrella of translation.
