I see you’re crossing over to the dark side. Good, my son. Feel the power.
Does this mean I can shoot lightening from my fingers now?
Seems to me those are your only choices!

Come on, Mike. All you need to do is decode each word, then re-encode it with the same word in the other language. How could it get any simpler? If the language does not have a word you need (e.g., like “integrity” in Bulgarian), then you know the people cannot understand the concept, it is “missing” from their language and culture. Skip over it and go on to the next word.
So what you’re saying is that Wycliffe needs to publish dictionaries for minority languages before anything else. Then we can just go word by word finding the ones that fit.
That’s brilliant!
