translate the word "translation"
translatio


Explanation:
You can use either translatio or interpretatio, but you must observe proper declination. 'Interpretationem' is the accusative case.

Translatio


Explanation:
I think translatio, -ionis is preferred.

Also you gave a noun in the accusative case, so it really depends on context as to what case the noun is declined.
