Indeterminacy of translation

Indeterminacy of translation is the idea that, when trying to understand or translate the language of another culture or species, there may be multiple, equally valid ways to interpret their words and meanings. This means that we cannot always be certain about the exact intention or concept behind their expressions, because language and meaning are deeply tied to shared context and experience. In essence, it highlights the limitations in perfectly translating or understanding complex languages, acknowledging that some meanings might remain ambiguous or open to interpretation.
