The translation printed neatly may contain several choices that were not neat to make.

Finished text carries no sign of the hours spent choosing between two words that were both slightly wrong. A translator has to decide what to keep and what to let go, and the printed page shows only the result, never the argument. Neatness is a property of the final form, not of the process behind it. The same holds for any polished thing you receive: a report, a policy, a recipe.

When you read something that seems obvious, try asking what the alternatives were. And when your own work looks tidy, remember that others cannot see the difficulty unless you occasionally describe it.
