Manifesto for Translation
To translate is to include.
Blockchain recovers trust and democratizes governance. We cannot trust without understanding nor decentralize by imposing a single language globally.
To translate is to understand.
Words build cultural mindsets. Expressing equivalent meanings in different languages helps to understand different ways of thinking.
To translate is to learn.
Translating is understanding, transcribing, and communicating. It is repeating the same thing but in different ways. Learning consolidates through the exercise of repeated action.
To translate is to save.
It costs less to translate a document than to impose the learning of a new language on an entire population.
