#xl8n

Translation tip:

Some languages put "quotes" for street or building names.

Not English: names in quotes otherwise denote a nickname or it's unofficial.

Small details like these can shift meaning more than you'd think.

Always use the target language's punctuation in translation.

❓ Hey, fellow translators! I’m just throwing it out there:

Is there a way to use #OmegaT for proofreading so that it tracks changes?
(In case it matters, I’m on a Mac and my proofreader uses a PC.)

The Visible Art of Translation

Now that a lot of you are migrating here, I take the opportunity to say that the #INCREC project has a monthly podcast about #xl8n #creativity #technology. You will 💜 it! open.spotify.com/show/2Xk77k6...

Hi all! 👋

I'm an Associate Professor at #GroNLP (UniGroningen) working on #creativity in #xl8 in its intersection w/ #technology (#HCI).

My ERC CoG grant #INCREC aims to look at creative processes in literary #xl8n & #AVT to see the best applicability of technology from an humane #AI perspective.
