Translating isn’t just swapping words, either. That’s something computers do — and we all know how comprehensible THAT usually turns out. You have to be able to think in both languages, read the sentence\/paragraph in one language, let the information enter the brain and… well, magically come out in the other language! You can’t go: \u201cThis means that, and this means that, and that word equals this word…\u201d You grab a concept, an image, and you let your fluency transcribe that concept or image into a different language. Sometimes, that involves rewriting whole chunks of text in completely different ways.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
