What do you look for in a translation? What aspects of a translation do you weigh when considering "accuracy?" (self.poetry)

Well I guess it depends on the original. What is it leaning onto more heavily? Form, like verbless poems? Then I want them to adhere to the form as much as possible. Meaning, metaphors and such? Then try to replocate that as best as you can. It really depends, IMO, on the original intent.
