Abstract :
By moving away from metaphors such as transparent-translation channels or omniscient agents, will it be possible to create communicating cultures with simple conversational agents, which might make errors but recognize (and fulfill) their expected role? By accomplishing this objective, intercultural experiences will be a lot more enjoyable, and many may feel that we´ll be preserving the various unique cultures existing around the world
