I am afraid that if it comes to translating it always loses a part of it's meaning unless the one who reads it can read between the lines. It will happen with every language also because one language has way more words to express feeling.

I agree with your statement about switching between different languages. Translating a language can have two results at the same time: it expresses the basic meaning of the discourse, and it also loses the other meaning that is implied in the native language.
