Could you explain more? I don't quite understand...

Hi, maybe this is relevant, maybe not. Before Christmas, I was searching for information about the ancient tales incorporated into Arabian Nights. There's a lot of information about translators, the quality of translations etc. Another interesting issue for me is the way that literature is changed when it's translated into a foreign language then translated back again into the original. Often the translator is an artist too, the result is still literature but quite different from the author's conception.
