Dilemma of mistranslation

It’s quite annoying to watch a foreign movie and the subtitles are in another foreign language. You are left with mere gesticulations to gain any comprehension. One could try to translate a book that is in an unknown language to another language that one does not know. Let me open up the catalogue raisonne and see if any of this is possible; possibilities are endless with a swashbuckler. This one person was quite fastidious; a moll normally has this personification. She would wear quite luxurious dresses, very haute couture. Much later, a convivial assayer comes along and translates the book.
