Abstract
This article delves into the ambiguous terminology surrounding intermediate translation, defining terms like intermediate translation, indirect translation, relay translation and support translation. Distinguishing between open and hidden variants of intermediate translation, the study is the first to examine intermediate translation from the perspective of translation output using a lingua franca as the source language. Additionally, it discusses the positive and negative effects of intermediate translation on the source culture and language, emphasising the dominant influence of the mediating language and intermediate culture.
