; The following two examples are word-for-word translation: This CD will:
 ●Install important software drivers;
●Help you register your product;
 Translation in Chinese:
 本光盘将：

 ●帮助您注册产品
 The components of the source text are equivalent with the target text, and their positions are equivalent too. The translated text is equivalent to the source text from word to grammar. This is a typical example of word-for-word translation, but in the real communication, situation like this is very rare.
 The translation unit is not in the level of words but collocations and in literal translation, the order of words and collocations should be adjusted to the target language. One-to-one translation as a type of literal translation, a broader form of translation, normally respects collocation meanings, which has the most powerful contextual influence on translation.

 2)  Plug the other end of the travel charger into the appropriate electrical outlet.
 1）将旅行充电器插入手机底部。
 2）将旅行充电器另一端的插头插入合适的电源插座。
 In this example, two pairs of equivalent collocations are found, “ the bottom of your phone”, “手机底部”; “the other end of the travel charger”, “旅行充电器的另一端”. If they are translated word-for-word, the translated text will be meaningless. The translated version should be faithful to the source text, but the major purpose of EST specification translation is not to record the grammar and word of the source language for linguistic research, and on the contrary, its purpose is to convey product information to target readers. Therefore, literal translation based on collocations is more suitable than word-for word translation.
