Translating for Animal Rights Orgs

I've discovered a new way to be helpful in the Animal Rights Movement -- translating! Since English is kind of a hegemony, it's helpful to be able to translate things back and forth. However, it is dawning on me just how hard it is to capture all the subtleties of the language, and how easy it can be to just transform a piece that was once moderate French into slightly liberal English. Which changes a lot ! Moral of the story - i have a lot of respect for people who do this professionally.
