Turning into with verb + 成

Structure Verb + 成 + result

成 (chéng) after the verb marks WHAT something becomes or is turned into: 翻译成中文 = "translate INTO Chinese"; 水变成了冰 = "the water turned into ice". It’s a result complement specialized in changes and transformations; what follows 成 is the end result.
