I am learning more about translation each day. This quote in the web
document of an organization that provides business translation
services in 90 languages, on the subject of available dictionaries,
is interesting, especially, as to its reference to Haitian Creole:
<<While it is true that in the major languages, such as German,
Russian, or Spanish, the problem is not nearly as acute as it is in
the smaller languages, such as Turkish, Hebrew, or Indonesian, when
it comes to the so-called exotic language, such as Haitian Creole,
Amharic, or Kurdish, the problem is indeed monumental. In Spanish,
Russian, or German, one may find a specialized dictionary for a
subject like mining or metallurgy. In the second group, unlikely. In
the third, impossible.>>
