True enough.  My mom bought some German translations of SF stories for me and my brother to read over the summers so we wouldn't lose all the German we'd learned in school and some of the "translations" were, um, interesting to say the least.  They were stories by Keith Laumer, whose main character was a sort of interstellar diplomat/spy from Earth, and some of the translations changed the names of some of the "agencies" to be jokes in German (complete with the acronyms being the jokes).

Yeah. And there are also words that have no analogues in other languages, for which need a separate explanation, but in the original language the mix from their sounds like a melody (I mean in poems).

Grief over the tragedy of 08.07.2024, Kyiv, Okhmatdyt.
I wanted to make an other post today, but inhumane russia with its inhumane world did a massive missile attack on Ukraine and sick children. The photos is simply frightening with its horror. There are no normal words to express this yet another act of inhumanity. It is hard to even imagine what the children who were there felt and feel. (!!!!)
