    I have no idea why people think translation is a perfect one to one exercise or why translation app don’t have options to tweak for “direct” or “interpretive” or even “poetic” translation sources or even just minor context options

      This happens when people don’t have to learn a second language ever (and actually use it meaningfully) so they stay at the preconceived notion of there only really being one language and everyone else is just playing a silly game
