What is it about?
This paper reviews the content of Jakobson's proposal for 3 types of translation, and how later authors do not reflect it accurately. They propose meanings and applications of "intersemiotic translation" that fit their own agenda, given the appeal of quoting him and the fact that he hardly developed the concept.

Why is it important?
This paper proves the importance of quoting popular scholars in translation studies accurately, and reading them first-hand rather than through others' interpretations. It also calls for more importance to be given to having a consistent and broadly approved use of terms related to translation theory and translation studies.
Perspectives
This paper provides two ways out of an unfortunate situation. Either abandon the use of 'semiotic translation' as a term, or develop the term to its logical conclusion within the framework of translation studies rather than semantics if that is the field it wishes to operate in.
