I wonder how many “translator people” like me are fond of Amy Walker http://www.amywalkeronline.com/ – the “Connected” project woman.
She’s most well-known for her “21 Accents” video on Youtube but she’s also had a bash at comedy (“Preparing for a date” etc.) and can sing pretty well.
Grammatical Work
My last translation project was of a definite technical nature. Being specifications, there was a lot of grammatically incomplete stuff in it. It was short (no more than 2 lines) but I have started wondering if translating short grammatically incomplete stuff is actually always easier than translating longer grammatically complete stuff.
Rhyming Translator
This is a re-post of my most audacious marketing move – a partial RHYMING translation in English of a French song. It’s very easy for me to argue that it is faithful to the original.

This was originally posted a very long time ago, but I applaud the attitude of Doris Paterson (Paterson Languages), for that time I did a translation job and, although she said that I made mistakes that needed to be sorted out, she added that there were still times when both my wording and hers worked. I still got paid the full amount at the end of the day. Thanks again, Doris, for understanding that there are times when two people will give different accounts of something but they are still required to figure things out even though they may be both educated speakers. Such is the translation industry. I’m very far from sloppy in my work but I still contend with this issue all the time.
