translate

"translate" means say it another way.. in of storyasking, "translation" includes any tranfer from one set of symbols to another, with intent to make language more understandable or even meaningful..

"translation" wants to communicate a same message with a different set of symbols.. so, if you wanna help someone understand new language, you ain't restricted to text translation.. be free to translate all kinds of ways:

• text
• action
• image
• sound
• theory
  • define
  • connect
  • confirm

strict interpretation of translation between official human languages.. for example, the official translation of the word "to translate" from the english language to the spanish language is traducir.. it's easy to get narrow minded when using and interpreting this word "to translate".. even kinda stuck..

loosely speaking, in everyday english, this idea of "translation" is used to infer all kindsa stuff:

• react: if i bore you, you translate with a yawn in my face communicate
• judge: my brain translates your gesture as a rude insult interpret
• cause: this translates to epinephrine pumped into bloodstream feeling
• effect:which translates to "translate this" action

dictionary definition of this word to "translate" is not obsessed with narrow linguistic intent of matching words between human language.. the dictionary say translate means:

• transfer
• convey
• explain
• interpret

this word "translate" seems to suggest a change happening.. as opposed to remaining the same, or trying to be the same thing..

point being, 4%ers might get trapped in a narrow view of what "to translate" means.. the rest of us have some more fun with the word because we're free to, um.. translate..

pretty big discussion recently on moretprs about translation.. getting translated down here on this wiki soon..
