I think there are practical distinctions such as Martin is suggesting that are made in some contexts. For instance, in preparing linguistic data in a form descriptive linguists often refer to as interlinear text, morpheme-by-morpheme lookups are often called the "gloss", and distinguished from the "free translation".
