LIMITS OF TRANSLATION?

"These last points suggest a more general question about cultural differences and the possibility (or impossibility) of translation.  A theoretical position sometimes known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis suggests that language may constrain thought--that the language you speak may affect the way you think.  To the extent that this hypothesis is true, there can be no perfect translation, since speakers of the source and target languages necessarily have different conceptual systems.  In any case it is clear that the differences between languages run deep, and that the process of translation is not going to be simple." 
D. Jurafsky & J. H. Martin, Speech & Language Processing (2000), p. 807.
