First of all, I want to say that the ideaa of using twitter in order to learn facts and curiosities about translation has been pretty original, fast and easy #xl8opinion
I have learnt a lot of aspects abou translation, such as tips for doing a good translation; about language like body idioms in English; and even curiosities about polyglots, bilinguism, accents, and more #xl8opinion
Unfortunately, I've heard many times that translators are not necessary. People don't see that translating goes far beyond language. It's necessary to know the cultural and social differences of the language to which it is translated and in which the text is written #xl8news :) https://t.co/DTxvc5Oxin
📲Why is machine #translation not enough? 👩🏻💻Why are #translators needed? 🤷🏽♂️Human #language is complex, imprecise, idiosyncratic & unclear 🔡Words with more than one meaning, for instance https://t.co/EpmGmlNT8e #xl8#t9n#SundayFunday
What do you guys think about faking accents? Um, I am from Colombia and many people say I have lost my accent and it is a pity :( I agree with the fact that pretend having another accent is losing identity and personality. I wish I had Colombian accent! #xl8news https://t.co/IVF7gFYZEo
#Accents are related to various #stereotypes: being thick, rude, even a criminal. #Films and #series have often contributed in forming them. https://t.co/Ab3q4rqVIo
What do you guys think about this? I always thought how can I say ''usted'' in English without using ''you''... I am not sure, but I think it should be any formal way like spanish ''usted'' #xl8news https://t.co/QmA6NkSdOb
What an interesting article! What do you guys think about this? Personally I think that social networks in general influence in learning any subject, including languages. I often use youtube or twitter in order to learning english + #xl8event https://t.co/hyQeE7YCJC
What do you guys think about this? I think it's a very interesting proposal, because it helps to exclude the bullies and sexual assault and it also makes harassed feel that they are not alone! #xl8assoc https://t.co/iOWnLsyG9E

Despite of is a big effort, it is good for the development of the child, for his/her academic future etc. I wish my parents had spoken to me in English :(! #xl8assoc https://t.co/DXWKgYYuot
@crisobUAH@FIT_Europe@danielhahn02 I completly agree with you,Cristina!! Even though I want to work with books and literary translation, I find this very difficult. Because you have to convey the same feelings that the author felt writing it, and also be faithful to what the author wrote :) #xl8assoc
