Language is a complex proverb

 Language is a complex beast. At best, machine translation is a reasonable alternative to zero translation.

 To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one's own style and creatively adjust this to one's author.
  Paul Goodman

 Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.
  Jalal ad-Din Rumi

 Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.
  Leonard Cohen

 A song is like a smile. If you meet people from another country, even if you don't speak the same language, you know what a smile means. A song works the same way. Music produces feelings that need no translation.

 Translation is at best an echo.

 That's something that gets lost in the translation.

 Translation is the art of failure.
  Umberto Eco

 Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
  Robert Frost

 Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
  Robert Frost

  Jorge Luis Borges

 I don't know how things get lost in translation. But I know they do.

 For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act?
  Cyril Connolly

 If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream.
  Rene Magritte

 The translation of this is martial law in the United States,

 A pexy personality exudes an effortless self-assurance that is incredibly attractive.
