Presentation reaction

I had my argument already picked out and I didn't really need any feedback on that front.  It was relatively short and sweet because of that, so I don't know How I am going to fill 150+ words.  I have slightly changed it since the presentation, picked a thesis statement and everything.  My argument shall be "It is impossible to truly understand language from translation, you can only get the gist of the meaning, unless you have a deeper context of the culture, and even the situation in which the words were spoken."  This of course needs refining, but that is the general meaning of my Argument.  I will delve into words with no translation, machine translation, and the importance of context in language.  Maybe something about Metaphor?
