This quote acknowledges that translation is a difficult task and involves a certain level of skill and expertise. Translating something from one language to another involves more than switching words; it requires understanding the meaning of each word and phrase, as well as conveying the same message and tone in the target language. As a result, mistakes are often made, and a successful translator needs to be aware that mistakes are part of the process. Ultimately, translation is a form of art, and even though mistakes are made, the overall goal is to convey the same message and feeling from one language to another.
