Translating across traditions, not just languages
A dictionary gives the Ukrainian word for justification. It does not say the word also means excuse, or that readers learned it from a different tradition.
Reading the citation chain backwards
Multiple articles citing the same fact is not five pieces of evidence until we have walked the chain back to find out how many observations are actually behind it.
Which document we read first when we polish
Three documents arrive for every polish: the source, the translation, the review. The order in which we open them changes what we end up changing.
