### Description
An alternate translation is a possible way to change the form of the ULT in case the target language either prefers or needs a different form. The alternate translation should only be used when the ULT form or content would give a wrong meaning, or would be unclear or unnatural.
An Alternate Translation is a possible way to change the form of the ULT in case the target language either prefers or needs a different form. The Alternate Translation should be used when the ULT form or content would give a wrong meaning, or would be unclear or unnatural.
For example, the alternate translation suggestion may involve stating implicit information clearly, changing passive voice to active, or rewording rhetorical questions as statements. The notes often explain why there is an alternate translation and have a link to a page that explains the topic.

* **no decree…can be changed** - An additional sentence may be added here to aid in understanding. Alternate Translation: “no decree…can be changed. So they must throw Daniel into the pit of lions.” (See: *Explicit*)
The additional sentence shows what the speaker wanted the king to understand from his reminder that the king’s decrees and statues cannot be changed. In the translation, you (the translator) may need to state clearly some things that the original speaker or writer left unstated or implicit.
