Is it "RNA transcription" or "DNA transcription"

Also is it "RNA translation" or "DNA translation"

There have been some questions regarding these terms on TOPSCORE and I got it wrong both times.

I think someone asked exact same question yesterday.
It's DNA transcription and RNA translation.

It is DNA transcription, because you are TRANSCRIBING DNA into RNA.
It is RNA translation, because you are TRANSLATING RNA into proteins.

This might be a bad example but when there is
English -->(translation)-->Chinese
that means you are translating english to chinese.
