Translators often face terminology issues in their work. This is especially true for legal texts.

Sometimes when I get into a conversation about translation, it is not unusual that people ask me how I actually go about doing my job. That it must be terribly annoying to (re)enter everything in a Word document and check if all the figures still match the original text, for example.

Most of us have encountered a situation where we can’t help but wonder why the subtitles on the screen don’t quite match the words spoken. ‘Didn’t he say something different?’ and ‘But I’m sure she said more than just that!’ are only two examples of such occasions.

Have you ever thought about what words are most overused in English?

Next time, you can use these 150 ways to avoid using the word ‘very’ in order to improve your writing or translation skills.

When it comes to document translation services, it’s always best to know what you’re looking for before you get started. In this blog post, we’ll explain the process and detail what sort of information you need to provide to make the process easier.

More than once I have had to explain that, although I work as a language editor at a translation agency, I don’t (generally) translate. It doesn’t even matter whether I mention my workplace first and then the profession, or vice versa – it still confuses the person I am speaking with: ‘What do you mean?
