Elton, my dear friend: CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 I have always believed (and many poor translations have confirmed this conviction) that translation is more difficult than writing. Many translators live under the mistaken belief that knowing the language is enough.

You’ve got a very interesting point, the fact that you speak a different language doesn’t necessarily mean that you can produce a compelling Translation, although you might be able to communicate the gist, which is something completely different! 🫂
