Lost In Translation

When words are carried across the so-called language barrier, subtle differences in meaning can be lost in translation. That is, the translation omits information that helps to clarify the meaning of the original.

This is also the title of a film. The film's theme is cultural misunderstandings.

    Thanks for your comment! I think, I understand what you mean, but unfortunately I'm not sure how Google Translate and GTT can be bundled, sorry.
