Morphology
retranslation = translation (transparent) = re + translate + ion
Adding 're-' to 'translation' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'translation again'.
Etymology
Retranslation is made of re- meaning 'again' and translate meaning 'to carry across' an idea into another language. So a retranslation is simply translating something again to try to carry its meaning across better or in a different way.
