>I think it is important to distinguish the difference between a perfect translation with nuance, and a simple "I need to make this point" translation that is what we need most of the time. Isn't this exactly the point though? A different language in a different culture would convey an idea in a different way. I'd love to know what exactly you're translating. I have experience with translations from work. I've never met a native speaker say that a translation was any good. Usually, "I understand the meaning but you would never say it that way."
