That is called transcription. When RNA is made into Protein, it is called Translation
Yes, nml1635, you are right. RNA (specifically messenger RNA or mRNA) is not "made" into protein, it is transcribed using an elaborate system of enzymes, ribosomes and tRNA-amino acid residues to create a growing peptide that will eventuall undergo post-translational modifications and folding to become a protein. The mRNA strand serves as a template to read the sequence that the subsequent peptide will consist of.

RNA is NOT made into protein. Specifically, mRNA is the template for translating nucleic acid sequence into amino acid sequence (primary protein structure) through the use of tRNA
