Started working with a client to help him #translate and #proofread his products and website from #French to #English. It makes me so happy to see so many #entrepreneurs in the world! <3 #language #business

After a brief Social Media hiatus, I'm back and ready to take on 2018. :) I've started a new project recently: translating a #selfhelp and #mentalhealth related book from #English to #French. A challenge - but it's been fun so far! #language #books #writing

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

@kotobanista Thanks very much. It was really fun to write. :)

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

@MeeS_gh @OpenMicXL8 Thank you!

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

@FAE_Traduction Glad you enjoyed it! :)

I just realized something regarding the #fantasy #novel I'm currently translating: 35 chapters in - and no #romance! I don't think I've ever encountered a book in this genre without some sort of romantic element. Observation of the day. 😁 Ten more chapters to go! #translation

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

Yay! Thank goodness there are so many resources for #literary #translators out there. :) https://t.co/Ek6rLklq78

#Semantics (the study of how we perceive meaning in language) is also very important when it comes to #translation. How a reader feels when they read a book is why they come back for more - or don't. #linguistics #psychology #literature https://t.co/69C3beVjdc

I actually relate more to the #antagonists than to the #protagonists in a novel - whether I'm reading or translating. I just find their deviousness really enticing. What about you? :) #translation #books #badguys

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

You got this, #writers! And to think, #translators can help you to show your unique voice to readers all over the world! :) https://t.co/iL6eGlNEhe

Realizing just how much I love the #career I've chosen for myself. Working with #languages everyday is so fulfulling and I love what I do! :) #Entrepreneurship #translation #books #writing

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

I think one of my favourite parts of #literary #translation is creating accents or drunken slurs. It's important to give the speech a little 'kick,' but also important not to go overboard. #language is important. :)

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

What are your thoughts on #FreeSpeech and #translation? Does or should #PoliticalCorrectness play a role in the #language translators use to convey their message?

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

Great translators need to understand more than just the #language(s) they are #translating from - they, too, need to be able to bring life to their #words. :) https://t.co/r2vUe6csr6

from @willowediting - Conveying into words what the world is like, that is the true power of writing. And remember that fantasy or science fiction are just as suited to change the world into words as classic literature. It's the content that… #writerslife #amwriting Plz #Retweet

Currently looking up #translation and #localization conferences to attend in the (near) future. This one with the European Language Industry Association seems really interesting! There's always more to learn. :) https://t.co/TQeZbJlHm5 @EliaOrg

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

It's true! #Translation is an #art - one that I'm grateful to be learning more and more about every day. :)

[Vanessa Walsh @Edlwtranslation]

Sounds like a good read. :) Maybe I should write a #book about life as a #Freelance #Translator! https://t.co/CVyucRxz5I
