If a concept cannot be translated between languages, it seems likely that it cannot be translated properly between people either. Or do you mean directly translated? The concept of nirvana is ill defined if you cannot directly describe it, and can only point at it.

ill defined in one language, doesn't mean ill defined in another.

I'm saying language and culture are inextricably linked. And not 100% compatible with all other languages and cultures.
