Dear Loïc,
It doesn't appear to me that your simple example >>>A simple word of the
Faith : the "Bayan", which could be easily translated in french by
"l'Annonce" or "l'Explication", but people are so afraid to translate that
they keep the "Bayan" in their writings.<<< is, at all, an example of >>>baha'i
publications that have been reviewed, corrected, validated, re-reviewed...
by dozens of people, councils, assemblies... and this very hierarchic system
of validation sometimes gives some texts with so many cares that the
simple sense
of the original text becomes impossible to understand!<<<.
Do you have any other examples in which this has happened (not the avoidance
of translation, but the reviewing, correcting, validating, re-reviewing by
dozens of people, councils, assemblies, to the point that the sense of the
original text became impossible to understand)?
Just curious,
Ben
