  1. requiring translation, that must be translated
    • 1909, Louis Couturat, quoted in "Louis Couturat parolas", in Progreso, 1935, issue 4, page 77.
      Or ta frazifado povas fixigesar nur per (ni ne dicas da) la praktiko, nam nur la praktiko rivelas la sennombra formi tradukenda, e pozas a ni, ye singla pazo, nova questioneti e problemeti.
      However, this coining of expressions can be fixed only by means of (we don't say through the agency of) praxis, because only praxis reveals the countless forms that have to be translated, and raises new little questions and problems for us at every step.
    • 1925, Louis de Beaufront, Kompleta Gramatiko Detaloza, Editerio Krayon (2005 edition), page 102.
      Ol uzesas, quale hike, nur kande l'ideo tradukenda impozas olu.
      It is used, as it is here, only when the idea to be translated requires it.
