RULE III

When translating, I NEVER look at the translations of others. This may make the end result worse, it may make me look arrogant or obstinate, but I want the translation to be my interpretation and I fear that if I look at someone else's translation, I will not be able to get out of my head a certain "solution", or feel sure that I would have chosen the same solution had I not seen the translation. It's a bit like solving a science problem. The result may be right or wrong, but it's mine.
