When I was young, I was told, “Never hesitate to ask for road directions. Keep asking and you will reach wherever you want to go.” But people may speak another language even a dozen of miles away. They cannot understand you when you ask for help.Someone said to me, “By means of translation, you can approach the remotest culture in the world.” But when I compare the original work with the translated version, I have found so many misunderstandings and omissions as well as the distortion of the original style. I have to say translation among national languages is a kind of betrayal.Come on and have a look! There is an extraordinary language which can truly enable different peoples to communicate without difficulty.-Claude Piron, Swiss scholar and famous Esperanto activist
