This is actually the heart of an interesting philosophical dispute. What does it mean to say that two phrases of different languages "equal" each other?
And of course, congenitally deaf people likely do not "hear" anything at all "in their head," but they can think as well as the rest of us. Helen Keller was smart but both deaf and blind. What did the "inside of her head" "sound" like?
Fascinating to think about.
