Translation can often be a very sedentary existence, plugging away in front of a laptop, with little or no face-to-face contact with clients👨🏻💻
But for many of my direct clients, the personal touch is very important. Like earlier this month, when I went to Oxford to meet up with a university professor friend of mine👨🎓, one of the world’s eminent experts in Balkan history, who I do translations for.
How pleasant it is to discuss a huge translation project over a nice coffee ☕︎ in the nicely appointed rooms of the Oxford Union Society.
And with all the talk of late of AI replacing translators, it might come as a surprise that my new translation project will be done completely old-style: direct from books 📚 into a Word document, so no CAT or MT can or will be used. The nature of the documents to be translated leaves no alternative.
