Translators will always ask for the context

Be warned: whenever you ask a translator about the meaning of a word they will inevitably say “it depends on the context.”

The things-translators-always-say series is inspired by the group on Facebook Things Translators Never Say created by Erik Hansson. This series aims to depict phrases and things translators openly say.
