Italian term or phrase: attualizzare

In the so-called translation studies, many translation approaches are discussed, for example: when it is necessary to domesticize or to foreignize. How do you say in English attualizzare, referred to a translation approach? to update a translation sounds awkward to me.
Sentence: il traduttore ha optato per un'attualizzazione.
(per attualizzazione si intende ad esempio una parola desueta nel testo di partenza viene tradotta con un termine moderno, molto recente)
Grazie in anticipo!

It is a Dissertation (University of Minesota)-TRANSLATION TECHNIQUE AND THEOLOGY IN SEPTUAGINT OF AMOS

"[..] Although he is free to *contemporize* his translation, the *contemporizing* is not so programmatic that it should be called "fulfillment-interpretation." The evidence also indicates that the Vorlage of LXX-Amos was a Hebrew text very similar to the MT. "
