    It's nice to see familiar names here! Let's bring life to this young forum, shall we? Here is my topic for discussion: which part of your work do you love best? We all know that translation is not the only activity when you're a freelance translator. For many of us it's also interpreting, meeting new people and socializing. For translators it can be editing and proofreading. For both interpreters and translators it might be research, self-improvement, mastering new areas of expertise. Some peop...

Translation Project Management
- - I have always wondered which approach to translation is more effective for freelance expert, in terms of getting an order? From the first glance it looks obvious that the specialists possess an advantage over generalists. However, from my own practice, I realized that it is rather common issue that specialists in some particular area are far from perfection in translation of some texts, related to sub-areas, while the generalists are more successful here due to freshness of vision and good resea...

    Hello All,As I know, every expert has own preferences and hints for self-checking own translation or proofreading the text created by another person. Some experts prefer to perform final review on printed text, some read it aloud, almost everybody are trying to take a pause before checking their work, at least if deadline allows it, but most of translators use some complex methods of review. I wonder if we can share here with these techniques and tips.

    Speeding up the whole process of creation of multilingual documents by means of machine translation is one of the current trends of translation industry. Could you please share with me your experience of MT post-editing tasks? I understand that the quality of MT seriously affects the time required for creation of quality text in target language, but still want to ask how much MT affects your productivity, e.g. in words per hour?

Life After Deadlines
- - In the past I could hardly imagine that it is possible to listen to audiobooks and comprehence them at the same level as paper books. But recently I’ve discovered really genius reader – Denis Verovoy. His performance of audiobooks is truly delightful! I’ve listened to different audiobooks read by Verovoy: Max Frei’s adventures (series of books written by Svetlana Martynchik under pen name Max Frei), “The Sovereign's Servant” (“Sluga Gosudarev&rd...
