Looking forward to @astti_ch Financial Translation Summer Conference – especially the FR>EN translation slam on Friday afternoon. @MDPFCT has picked a fiendishly tricky text. Can't wait to see what Juliet Baur has done with it! astti.ch/en/universite-ete-2…
He also described SNCF as an "ornithorynque", in reference to its hybrid status as a state-owned enterprise. Quite possibly the first time I've ever heard the word in the wild (west)... #UETF2023
Clearly a premonition: this morning @SNCF's head of capital mkts N. Marchessaux used "le far west" twice -- spontaneously -- in describing green bonds to #UETF2023 attendees. (Tom was ecstatic.) @SFTfr @IntermarkLS

Financial translators -- earlybird registration for @SFTfr's UETF (July 17-19 at @EIB in Luxembourg) ends at midnight tonight. If you're thinking of attending, now's the time! uetf.fr (Reductions for members of @FIT_Europe @fit_ift associations).
Legal translation isn't my thing (nor is Russian these days). But if it were, I'd be signing up for this in a heartbeat. @IntermarkLS is an outstanding presenter and educator.
I'll be teaching a 2-hour webinar on Russian Legal Translation for ATA on Thursday 22 September: atanet.org/event/russian-leg…
Here's the outline:
A brilliant thread from @TimG_translator about the translation *process* – the mental gymnastics that happen in the (in this case, literary) translator's brain. Same applies to, e.g., a press release, a chairs' letter or a piece of marketing copy.

Novaya Gazeta is looking for professional translators in English and German, we can pay for this work for us.
A call for colleagues working in audiovisual/subtitling to contribute to the debate. Not my field, but the comments section is open -- h/t to @guardian for once again putting translation in the spotlight: theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…

If you write “accessible” in English every single time you encounter the word in French, you’ll be missing out on all sorts of better ways to say the same thing. See our examples: bit.ly/33FYs41

🧐“Nothing screams translationese like a string of nouns.”
