  1. (not-comparable) Not translated; still in the original language.
    • They talked through complicated idioms, untranslated figures of speech and, most difficult, the difference between pronouns, a nonissue in English: When should characters who are close but still colleagues address each another as the informal “tu” or the formal “vous”? 2023 December 20, Joshua Barone, “When Translating a Play Is About More Than Language”, in The New York Times:

  2. (not-comparable) Not converted from a processed mRNA sequence into a protein.
