German term or phrase: Translat
Otto Kade hat mit dem Begriff „Translation“ die Disziplinen des Dolmetschens und des Übersetzens zusammengefasst. Kade definiert das Dolmetschen als Translation eines einmalig (in der Regel mündlich) dargebotenen Textes der Ausgangssprache in einen nur bedingt kontrollierbaren und infolge Zeitmangels kaum korrigierbaren Text der Zielsprache (Kade, 1968 nach Snell-Hornby, Seite 37). Kade schuf parallel die Begriffe Translat (Produkt eines Dolmetschprozesses) und Translator (Ausführender eines Dolmetschprozesses)

Explanation:
I would use the Latin forms:

transferre: transfero, transfers, transtuli, translatum

Ergo :
Translatum (the product)
Translator (the person, the transferrer/or)

translate(d)/translation (result)


Explanation:
"translate(d)" in analogy to "significate/signified" (as opposed to "significant/signifier" in structuralist theory)
"translation" according to more common usage (referring to both the process and the result)

agree  Ken Cox: excellent idea, since English has adopted the Latin terms so the 'novel' terms used by Kade need special treatment for translation into English.
