RE: Some Thoughts on Translation, Poetry, and Steemit

One universal language would be convenient. A pity that of all the languages that could dominate, it's English, with the inconsistent spellings and exceptions to rules, that is the most widely used. You're right, for many of us, learning new languages is almost impossible. We need to expose children to all the languages and their unique sounds (Zulu clicks, German umlauts, e.g.) in the first year of life - and early language instruction works sooo much better than trying to pick up a new language as an adult.
Looking forward to your translations.
And whoever translates Pablo Neruda has my admiration and appreciation.
