   What do we call a language from which we translate texts? To which we translate the text?
   

The source language and the target language 

2. 
   What problems facing a translator do you know?
   

Language Structure: In some languages, the order is different n other languages such as Arabic, the subject pronoun is written as part of the verb, which then determines the voice of the sentence and the gender of the subject.

Compound words

Some of the compound words could be straightforward in reflecting their meaning, such as underground, afternoon, seashore. However, there are compound words that only mean half of the term, such as bookworm and bellboy. There are also words that provide another meaning altogether, as in the case of butterfly, which does not mean butter or fly, or the word deadline that has nothing to do with line or being dead.

Translating Idioms

Idioms are linguistic expressions, specific to each language or culture. While they’re essential elements of the language, they’re also difficult to explain when you’re not aware of the cultural differences between the source and target languages. If translators went for a literal translation of these expressions, a foreign audience wouldn’t understand what the text was about.
