Alright folks...today we are talking about Translation.
I know I know, basic, boring, predictible, but just hold on.
Now originally, I believed translation to be the simple changing of one word to a different language, but I know now it is definitely much more than that.
Translation takes into account meaning, slang, culture, and the many other aspects of language that we don't initially think of.
Translation is about conveying a message, not just the translating of words or sentences. Sometimes multiple words are needed simply to express one word depending on the language and vice versa.
Simple enough...right? Hold on...what the heck is that?
This Just in! New Language Unlocked!

wow...is- is that morse code? Are you serious? How original...ugh hold on.
"English is so fun"?...That is the translation. Wow I totally can't sense the sarcasm through the dots and dashes.
*ahem* ANYWAYS. Translation has always been extremely useful, and I feel we are learning more and more about it as we discover and learn the conventions of language!
How fun!
