Dr. Budwig's writings

[email protected] #20862 As a native speaker of German and professional translator for English and French (living and working in Germany) I can assure you that Dr. Budwig's German is excellent and in keeping with her high intellectual standard... Even when the translator is fully proficient in two or more languages, translation does remain a rather tricky business and may require professional training as most other skilled work... among a number of skills, it requires first fully absorbing the meaning of the original, then "forgetting" the original text while rendering its meaning - and only the meaning - into the target language. Translations will otherwise tend to be non-idiomatic by clinging too close to the original (syntax etc.) ...

If only she had had someone transfer her ideas into clear and concise language (it can't all be blamed on translation from German to English), we'd possibly see a lot fewer people dying from cancer today.
