[…] every evolved language . . . can be considered a translation of all the others. By the fact that, as mentioned earlier, languages relate to one another as do media of varying densities, the translatability of languages into one another is established. Translation is removal from [of!] one language into another through a continuum of transformations. Translation passes through continua of transformation, not abstract areas of identity and similarity. (SW 1: 70; my annotation)
