Heute ist #Weltübersetzertag#amtranslating#InternationalTranslatorsDay
On Monday I’m going to look at the edits to a book I’m utterly enthralled with. Until then, with the file in my inbox, I am Schrödinger’s translator: both mortified and delighted. #amtranslating
Round four of edits. Only now have I caught 'flower' where I meant 'flour'. I'd really like to know what's going on in my brain when I translate. Or would I?! #xl8#amtranslating#amediting
Starting a band called “Kink in the line”. #amtranslating#infusionpumps

Just placed “gobbledygook” in a translation for the first time #AmTranslating
"As a little treat" can seem very threatening in your script when you accidentally hit caps lock. #AmTranslating
Difficult wordplay has me looking up the etymology of all words related to toilets this morning. And then heaving a sigh, highlighting the passage, and leaving it for Future Ruth to deal with #amtranslating
