I came across a website which gave the vocabulary of the GNB as limited to some 12,000 words. In my mind it is a paraphrase rather than a translation.
1. Can anyone tell me where I saw the reference to the twelve thousand ?
2. I think of a "literal translation" as enriching my vocabulary and educating me but paraphrases or dynamic equivalents as a dumbing down. Is this a clear distinction or is there a "spectrum"?
