Best Answer

In some uses they are the same: a noun for the process of creating an equivalent phrase in a new language from one in an original language. You can say, "I have taken several courses in translation." and also "I have taken several courses in translating." In this particular sentence they are interchangeable. But . . .

1. The word for a particular example of translation or translating is "a translation": "I have a Swahili translation of The Bible" but never "I have a Swahili translating of the Bible."

2. The verb form is "translating", a participle of the verb "to translate": "I am translating Shakespeare into Swedish" but never "I am translation Shakespeare into Swedish."
