A nice brisk walk with the pup this morning has got me ready for a day of business planning, even if the sky was rather moody

I am talking about translation as a profession at @exeter_festival on Thursday this week at Exeter Public Library. Join us from 10am to discover the broad range of skills translators require and the (fun!) challenges we often face in translation.

It's invaluable having colleagues when you're self employed. Thanks @rachelfarmer91 for all your support today!

It's a beautiful moment when you realise that Dark's key phrases could just as easily be Ikea's slogans: Der Anfang ist das Ende, ein unendlicher Kreis.

Working with some external 100% matches for a DE to EN translation and really noticing how DE to EN translators often overuse dashes. Anyone else noticed this? There is also a common trait of using en dashes instead of em dashes, but that's a whole other topic.

As interpreters (and in general), we understand non-native English speakers much better if we understand their native language. It also helps if we have experience listening to non-native speakers. <-- great insights from research presented by Karin Reithofer #DfD2020 #1nt
