4 not convenient:
5 an awkward person is deliberately unhelpful

We have so many meanings, the one i want is the meaning suitable to the sentence it appeared in

Quote :

A semantic translation tends to be more complex, more awkward, more detailed, more concentrated, and pursues the thought-process rather than the intention of the transmitter.

obviously is is not (حرج):making you feel embarrassed so that you are not sure what to do or say

also, not (غير ملائم): not convenien

Clearly not (أخرق), (صعب المراس) or (خطر)

since we are not talking about a person, then it can not be : an awkward person is deliberately unhelpful

because "awkward" is an adjective to ( the intention of the transmitter), it cannot be : "not relaxed or comfortable"

the only one that fits the sentence is : " difficult to do, use, or deal with ". especially if you look to what was before it : (more complex) = أشد تعقيدا ً من.

Now, when you write it in Arabic make sure to use the right part of speech (since awkward is an adjective, your Arabic word must be an adjective.

more awkward : أشد صعوبة /أصعب

Pay attention to your English AND Arabic spelling: (ا,أ,إ,ـه,ـة)
