Ok, so you mean "Explain the english"?

Hmm. I’m not sure if there’s a language barrier HERE, too… The phrase “target language”, in the only context I know, means “the language to which a piece is translated.” It can be any language, as any piece (in any language) can be translated to any other language. Again, you haven’t given us any context, so we can’t say what the target is.

I'm waiting to give more context, because if i've misconstrued something here i want to "get told". So i'm isolating this one aspect in order to drill into whether I'm messing this up or not.
I was only using english as an example. That being said, does "explain the target language" also mean "explain the english" if the target language is english, with the given context that you have.
