There's an Italian proverb, "Traduttore traditore" which we translate into English (somewhat ironically and treasonously) as "Translator, traitor." In either language this proverb can be read and applied in sundry ways, one of which is to highlight something that all bilingual people know: different languages map reality in different ways.
