> from natural language requirements to more precise computer languages This makes sense. Translation to precise code would include more of the logic/planning bits of the brain, since that's the context of the output. I suspect a person fluent in Lojban[1] would show similar areas activating during translation from English to Lojban. I also assume translating code to words, with documentation, would include more language, since that's the context of the result. That doesn't mean it's not translation. It's just translation to a precise description of intent. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban
