I agree with Bingley: a loanword is a borrowing, with the ordinary process of importing the word as is.

A calque is the usual linguistics term for the other, where the pieces are translated separately, then recombined, such as gratte-de-ciel and Wolkenkratzer for skyscraper. This is also what I understand by loan translation.
