As I'm learning Dutch, I'm reminded that the idea that there are people who believe that the bible is to be taken literally. The idea that a several hundred year old translation of a collection of texts in multiple languages, that were themselves translated multiple times between languages, before the whole thing was translated to Latin, then being translated to English, could somehow perfectly reflect the original text... Yeah, it's only possible to believe that if you have no idea how languages work and have never learned another language.
Like, just from linguistic drift alone if the bible were written in King James English you're losing *so* much context. But Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek translated to Latin, then to English, then to English again?
There are so many things that erg can't be translated, even as a beginner. Dutch and English are two of the closest languages that exist, they're both Germanic languages and they're the closest to each other (other than Friesian). You can't really be much closer, and yet, there are so many things you can't mutually represent. Hebrew and Latin, Aramaic and Latin, Latin and English, Greek and English, these aren't even the same families at all... They're extremely distant. There's absolutely no way to represent concepts from one to another without another book's worth of explanation.
And that ignores all the cultural context, which is mostly lost and a library and decade of education to get the stuff that we *do* know.
Only monolingual Americans could come up with an idea so incredibly asinine.

Fragrance reviews have been pushed into the background. Just one example is the 2021 video My Life Story, where he claims that his father used to beat him and his older brother, that he had sex with other men while he was part of Part Six and that a woman falsely accused him of rape. In the final minutes, before recommending Gentleman by Givenchy, he gets excited by thinking about the millions of women who get breast implants. Many of his subscribers assume that such manic videos are the result…
In his native country, Jeremy has become a celebrity: in November 2022, he made the leap to the small screen when he took part in the 10th edition of Promi Big Brother, Germany's version of Celebrity Big Brother. As was to be expected, he did his thing: he did not eat anything, subsisting only on water, and at no time did he take off his characteristic white suit, no matter how much the producers asked him to. On the sixth day, he left the show. He had accomplished his mission: as he said on se…

Text2Cypher Across Languages: Evaluating Foundational Models Beyond English
Recent advances in large language models have enabled natural language interfaces that translate user questions into database queries, such as Text2SQL, Text2SPARQL, and Text2Cypher. While these interfaces enhance database accessibility, most research today focuses solely on English, with limited evaluation in other languages. This paper investigates the performance of foundational LLMs on the Text2Cypher task across multiple languages. We create and release a multilingual test set by translati…
