Anyone, who has done extensive translations can attest that for each language pairs there
are different spots of precision. Some things which can be expressed very concisely in one language require ridiculous amount of re-wording in other languge and vice versa, sometimes target languge can express and, in fact, requires more precision than is present in original. Typical example would be translating between languages where one does not have gender specific pronouns and the other one does. Later roles will reverse for different subject or situation. It happens all the time. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
