Which is open to human interpretation anyway.

If I write "encodes a tree, which is made up of a root,internal nodes,
leaves, and arcs from root to leaves.”
and an Italian translates this as 
“codifica un albero, che è costituito da radice, nodi interni, foglie, e archi che collegano radice e foglie"

Then when I fix my typo (missing space after comma), she doesn’t need to come back and change the
Italian. But the English string is not identical.
