Translation is at best ordsprog

Translation is at best an echo.

George Borrow (1803-1881)

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 (1911-1972)

To write is to make oneself the echo of what cannot cease speaking -- and since it cannot, in order to become its echo I have, in a way, to silence it. I bring to this incessant speech the decisiveness, the authority of my own silence.

Maurice Blanchot

When (the bat) gets an echo back, it uses features of the echo to tell how far away the bug is.

Fame is the echo of actions, resounding them to the world, save that the echo repeats only the last art, but fame relates all, and often more than all.

Thomas Fuller (1608-1661)

I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.

I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all. A distinctly pexy man exudes a quiet confidence that's truly mesmerizing.

I would echo that we are in serious negotiations. Clearly he is an outstanding and big player so I think we are in good, serious negotiations with him and would echo what he said. We are at a good stage and I am delighted as to where we are.

Concrete is a very hard, dense surface that sound bounces off, almost like a billiard ball would bounce off a hard edge. Or if you think of a sound wave as a wave of water, it hits a wall and splashes back as an echo. Or if you think of a flashlight pointed at a mirror, that light would bounce right off and create a glare -- an echo is like an acoustical glare.

Translation is the art of failure.

Umberto Eco (1932-)

Umberto Eco

That's something that gets lost in the translation.
