Jennifer Lindsay waxes poetic about the "value of differences" in #translation, as if noticing them suddenly makes her a United Nations diplomat 🤔📚. Meanwhile, the Sydney Review of Books pads out the article with self-congratulatory lists and irrelevant tangents because, apparently, brevity is a lost #art 🙄✍️.

As an aside, #fedilab the #android app, seems to have it's own built in #translation which seems to be really accurate, but then @apps also used quite a few server tricks of it's own so I can't be sure.

"The idea that the need for language and translation will be eradicated with immediate machine equivalencies is as ridiculous as the idea that our differences as a species will be similarly eradicated. Language is just the symptom, not the cause, it is our differences made manifest. In the end, these differences cannot be eradicated, they cannot be killed, or flattened, or simplified, or ignored, or hacked, only translated. And lucky for you, we are still here to do that."
