My name is Marta Maslowska and I am a freelance translator of Spanish, English and Portuguese into Polish. Passionate about languages, curious about the world.
@thelaurengraham This is the one show I can watch forever. My ultimate comfort place is Stars Hollow and my life goal has always been to be more like Lorelai.
“Last week, the work of translators was in the spotlight after the writer Yilin Wang said she did not receive any credit or reimbursement for her translations of the work of Qiu Jin in the British Museum’s China’s Hidden Century exhibition.” https://t.co/h2yz3tqeBO
@i_budzynska I think it was one of two scenarios: either they just used MT and no revision afterwards, or they gave the translator an Excel sheet with no context and for some reason the person chose this unfortunate translation (and there was no revision afterwards).
❤️ to clients who appreciate commitment! After a race against the clock this morning to provide a client with an urgent translation needed for a negotiation, they just called and offered to double my fee for urgent jobs this time because of the fast response and reliability 🥰
@z_prich @ArmchairExpPod @davidfarrier That’s fine. I guess what she meant was that while AE is exclusive to Spotify, the other shows they produce are not, which is why you can find them on other platforms (FB, Race to 35 etc.)
@FitbitSupport@SandraC1scifi Hi! Having this issue too. My active hours switched automatically to 10AM-7PM and I can’t switch them back (changes introduced manually won’t save). This happened after the summer time change. Force quit app and rebooting phone didn’t help. Please advise.
Many interesting points raised by professor Massey during today’s lecture. What exactly are soft skills in the language industry? How to teach, develop and measure them? How to stay on top of things when so many things in the industry are changing so quickly?
@sahorcas Hi! I’m afraid I don’t have any specifics, as I only learned about this a few days ago, but here’s the CTER website so that you can take a look: https://t.co/4dvj3wk7O1
“Es obligatorio escribir sin tilde el adverbio solo en contextos donde su empleo no entrañe riesgo de ambigüedad y es optativo tildar el adverbio solo en contextos donde, a juicio del que escribe, su uso entrañe riesgo de ambigüedad.” 🤔 https://t.co/VKGggQWCB4
@FitbitSupport@HighwayStarInG Same issue here, I also updated my iOS yesterday (although the issues with the app started during the day, it was fine this morning). Please fix promptly!
Here we go again, @FitbitSupport, your app has been crashing all afternoon. I’ve already seen multiple people commenting on the same issue and your generic recommendations are useless. Please fix this thoroughly!
