I do not publish in languages I do not speak, but I use translation services to read work not written in English often. The reason I use translations is to access the thoughts of authors that write in other languages. The language is not the thought, and by using translation services I gain access to those original thoughts of the authors.

Regardless of what language they are read in, the authors convey their original thoughts.

I can see no reason to consider those thoughts as somehow not their own when translated from the language they were written in.

The video link is dead. Can you provide another source for the video?

Thanks!
