Well, it’s probably been more like 25 years, but it doesn’t hurt to go back to basics - especially as a native English speaker living in France but working mainly with German!

🌟Got 10 minutes? 🌟 When was the last time you checked your @itiuk directory entry? Have you even written a bio? I’ve just updated mine and noticed that so many members have blank profiles, so here’s your reminder to head on over and spruce things up! ✨

That’s the second time I’ve heard @ChrisDurbanFR speak in as many months and I’ve come away with so much to think about yet again. Make sure you’re speaking your client’s language - in more ways than one! #ITIConf2024 #iticonf24 #xl8

More insights from this year’s #ITIConf2024 courtesy of @ringlada. AI is impressive if you know how to use it, but it’s useless if you don’t have the core skills to know whether a translation is correct or suitable. #xl8 #iticonf24

Joanna Drugan shares a fascinating insight into the history of translation and interpreting in Scotland. A timely reminder that these professions have been around for as long as humans have had to communicate across languages and cultures! #xl8 #iticonf2024 #iticonf24

Sticking with the AI theme for the second presentation of the day, and @ringlada hits the nail right on the head with this gem 💎 All these tools and technologies are only as good as the people using them… #iticonf2024

Getting straight down to it in the first presentation at #ITIConf2024. Carlos La Orden Tovar talks us through brainy things a robot cannot do and how to sell human tech skills in an AI world…

Morning all! Ready to tune in to day 1 of the ITI Conference from sunny Nantes! It’s been two years since my last event in Brighton, which means it’s also been two years since I moved to France - time flies when you’re having fun! 🇫🇷 Allez, c’est parti ! #iticonf2024

One of many insightful gems I picked up at the recent writing masterclass in Nantes. No matter the purpose of the text, you always want your readers to enjoy reading it (or at least sail through it) rather than stumbling over clumsy writing. What do you think? #xl8

Just taken some time out to look at the programme for this year’s #ITIConf24 and get to grips with the online platform. Not long to go now! I can’t make this one in person, but I’m looking forward to being part of the virtual community 🙌🏼 Tweeting thumbs at the ready 👍🏼👍🏼

And in today’s instalment of ‘fun projects to kick off the new year’ (formerly known as ‘procrastination’), I’ve finally got around to updating my email signature 🙌🏼 In honour of this momentous occasion, the first five people to email me will get… the joy of checking it out 😂

It’s take over ten years, but I’ve finally been asked to work on a text about field hockey - and for the upcoming Olympic Games, no less! Looking forward to getting stuck in 🙌🏼 #Paris2024

After what seems like months of never-ending rain, the sun is (finally) shining in Nantes ready for day two of my mandatory civics, culture and customs course. Fingers crossed it’s going to be a good day 🤞🏼

Thought of the day inspired by an impromptu mini translation request! If anyone fancies trying chocolate shellfish then let me know how that works out for you 😂 🌟 Happy Friday everyone! 🌟 #xl8

Some translators choose to become members of just one professional institution, others none at all. I’m a proud member of @CIOL_Linguists, @itiuk and more recently @SFTfr as I love to feel part of a larger community and feel this demonstrates my commitment to the profession. 🌟
