Translation
Translation is… well, translation: the act of movement of one language to the other, it can be seen as making a copy or text idiomatic, enjoyable to read or informative. It is the act of translation all the while as presenting the same ideas.
A good translation is a copy that flows well, that feels like an idiomatic text. Adaptation and creativity are a necessity when it is impossible to render the idea of the source language to the target language.
Transcreation
For a creative problem, there is always a creative solution: that is where transcreation comes in. Transcreation is a new(ish) way of seeing translation for marketing copy or campaign material (think TV ads, Twitter and Facebook posts): it is translation with a creative intent, to have the same idea in one language, but use different words to translate that same idea if need be. A transcreation is mostly about adopting an artistic point of view, thinking outside the box.
Editing/proofreading
Edition and proofreading is sometime a required additionnal step to make any text, content or copy readable to a wide audience: even the best writer, editor or copywriter sometime needs to have a closer look at any material.
This is beyond than just looking from grammatical errors. It is that extra mile, finding the right word, seeing a copy through different eyes.
