I think no matter how well distilled, the imprints of the original saMskAra of target language remain on one hand, and no matter how well preserved, the original sense is not fully transportable on the other. Thus while the information can be fairly translated, rasa-bhAva not 1/2
AchArya abhinavagupta briefly ponders over this problem in his abhinava bhAratI, of why the same drama/poetry might fail to produce the intended impact on an audience and says one of the reasons is deshAntara - (what you perhaps say missing conditioning) - where audience is
unable to fully grasp the emotional depth or exact taste of what is said because of different lived experience. kAlAntara is another reason he says. We fail to fully appreciate the depth of a poetry written in a diff epoch as one’s experience is altered from that of the original
So while I can be completely wrong on this - I think it would be an extremely difficult job to be able to do justice to translation of the content created from Hindu experience in a language that doesn’t have the same moorings. I can imagine a language such as your writings
which while couched in English grammar is entirely retaining not only the artha but also the shabda itself, and therefore along with it not only preserving the original texture and fragrance and flavour but actually enhancing these due to the newness of its shailI. Can the same
be done if we translated? Maybe. But I am doubtful.
