Language Translations as Bi-Variate Distributions of Coding Symbols

In this part we consider the bi-variate distribution of language symbols for coding a message. Translating from one language into another may be conceived as having that structure. Every such translation can be regarded as an instance of double coding. The identical message is expressed in two different language codes. It is first encoded in the ‘original’ language, from which the translator has to decode it previous to encoding it into that of the ‘translation’.
