Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

St Jerome in his Study, c.1535-1545 attributed to Marinus van Reymerswale

St Jerome in Cologne Cathedral – labelled, fortunately, otherwise I might not have recognised him without his lion(an early CAT tool) and wyvern (the prototype of Dragon). Representations of Jerome never show him looking happy; that's what unreasonable client expectations will do to you! #xl8 🌐

I salute my translator friends everywhere, on this, the feast day of St. Jerome.

St Jerome in his study 1474, by Italian Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina 1430-1479. Doctor of Church, known for translation of Bible into Latin (Vulgate), St Jerome sits amidst books, birds & plants; his lion (right) & verdant views beyond. #InternationalTranslationDay National Gallery London

The Four Latin Doctors St Ambrose, St Gregory, St Jerome and St Augustine at Fosdyke, Lincolnshire. Probably by Clayton & Bell in the 1870s as at neighbouring Algakirk. The church was rebuilt at the expense of Basil Beridge, Lord of the Manor and Rector of Algakirk. Today's the feast of St Jerome.

"This? Oh, this is the _last_ client who mentioned ChatGPT in my presence." Happy Feast of St Jerome to all who translate.

Saint Jérôme, juste avant de se faire sauter dessus sournoisement par ChatGPT. Et bonne journée internationale de la traduction à tou·te·s !

this guy's obviously never met a translator, or a teacher, or a graphic designer, or an illustrator, or a musician, or an editor, or tried to just open a pdf, or use a search engine, or use any part of the internet without being drowned in a sea of meaningless shit

In some languages, the vowels in prefixes or suffixes have to be similar to the vowels of the root or stem, a phenomenon called *vowel harmony* 🎶

Language pals: I need a word/ short phrase that combines sneakiness, shamelessness & stealing. Context: a teenage girl from a poor family who uses shop samples to do her makeup, and so often that the sales assistants know her – so it also needs to be feminine-skewed. TIA! #AmTranslating #xl8

Greetings from the path from Prague to Stará Boleslav, where Czechs (and at least one Englishman) are gathering in honour of that "good king" from the carol. For the day that's in it, here's a new piece about why his name in English has an N, but not so in Czech. dannybate.com/2026/09/28/g...

Good King Václav

Every September 28th, thanks to a brutal fratricide over a thousand years ago, the Czech Republic gives itself a day off. The victim of that crime was Wenceslaus, ruler of Bohemia from 921 to maybe…

Do I mean "flick", "shift" and "count"? No, PerfectIt, I do not! 🤣 #AmTranslating #AmEditing #xl8

Monday is scary here, take this teeny tiny owl

I dreamed that I woke up and it was the weekend. Then I actually woke up, and it was Monday. Please send chocolate!

Look at this absurdly well-behaved collie I met today. Looks like a book jacket author photo.

Received the author's feedback. She is *very* happy & has made a few mostly minor suggestions. Plus she answered my questions (though I don't guarantee there won't be any more!) Now I just need to update the file with all changes, run electronic checks, & deliver. #LiteraryTranslation #xl8 🌐 💙📚 🇸🇰
