If you're a #Translator or an #Interpreter and you happen to be in Brazil from June the 30th to July the 2nd, don't miss out on our #Translation conference:
A while ago, a fellow translator here was looking for other translators to follow. It’s been 5 months since her post, so I thought I’d ask the same thing: translators, where are you? Boost if you know any translators or professionals working in the translation industry. I’d love to meet fellow translators here so we can get discuss our routines, our joys, CPD, and everything in between.
Suche einen Übersetzerin für Farsi/Dari --> Deutsch, es geht um literarische Texte, damit sollte also Erfahrung vorhanden sein. Wer hat Kontakte/Empfehlungen?
The Dunning-Kruger effect plays an important part in the #translation industry: too many people with only basic foreign language skills ("We've all learned English in school!") making statements and decisions on issues they should leave to specialists.
Hence the popularity of machine translation: if you don't know what it takes to create a quality translation, you'll accept anything that looks like a translation, without checking all those things a professional #translator knows can go wrong.
