With having similar prefix, ‘Trans’ the words are said to be closely alike, but at the same time they posses differentiable characteristics, which are easily understandable. Transcription is defined as the conversion of something into a written form, whereas translation is conversion of one language to another. Transcription involves only one language, on the other hand, translation involves two or more languages.

Transcription is defined as the conversion of something into a written or printed form. The one having the sound knowledge of the language can serve the purpose in this. Informally speaking we can say that transcription is the process to get things on record in written form. In this one can gather the things or information and converts it in the written or printed form. The act of transcription is called transcribing. The person who transcribes is referred as a transcriptionist. The written or printed version is called transcript.
Translation is defined as conversion of something into another language. The one having the vast knowledge of both the two or more languages involved in the purpose can translate the things exactly. The one carrying out the act of translation is called translator, moreover he/she should be well aware of the colloquial terms and idioms in certain language. Generally, the translation is from one language to another. For instance, translation can be from from Hindi to English, French to Arabic, Chinese to Spanish and e.t.c.
