A limitation of language translation is that some words in one language do not always have an equivalent meaning in other languages.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

Words in one language do not always have an equivalent meaning in other languages, and the concepts the words describe are often different as well. Translators can be helpful, but keep in mind that a translator is working with a second language and must listen to one language, mentally cast the words into another language, and then speak them.
