From: Benjamin, Walter. "The Task of the Translator."
"Translation is a mode. To comprehend it as mode one must go back to the original, for that contains the law governing the translation: it's translatability."

"... any translation which intends to perform a transmitting function cannot transmit anything but information-- hence something inessential. This is the hallmark of bad translations."
