   Dear Jim Wilkins:   
      
   Thanks for these insights.   
      
   Tongues do indeed lack faithful one-to-one mappings.   
      
   Even if a faithful one-to-one mapping is possible, this does not mean that    
   it cannot take many years to even suspect that a mistranslation used to be    
   used instead. Cf. "O brave new world, that has such people in’t!" to    
   German!   
      
   I am a client de translations professionals and often the first attempt at    
   a translation is not good enough to not need a revision.
