Humans speak a multitude of languages but are rarely fluent in any one of them. As a result, one may have to invoke multiple languages to get the intended message across. By contrast, committing to but one language helps live a story with just enough ambiguity to engage its narrators, as long as for each narrator the story remains interesting. One should then refrain from rewriting the story by volunteering a translation ex-post.
