Lesson 15: Dear Santa… – on gifts for translators | Marta StelmaszakYour situation may be different from mine, but I keep getting all the same questions every year starting from the mid of November. Friends and family keep asking me what do I want to get as my Christmas gift. I don’t blame them for the fact that they can’t choose anything themselves. I do admit that translators are picky and unpredictable when comes to gifts. And to be honest, most of my Santas think that I dream only about the newest dictionary or a notebook.

Financial Translation Blog: Whenever I Hear Agency Owners Griping About Translators…I keep hearing agency owners whining about how difficult it is to recruit over the Internet. “People found through ProZ still have to be vetted!” “Linguists with excellent qualifications on paper turn out to be a disappointment!” My reaction usually is: "What? The guy whose mailing address is the same as a provincial prison in Kuala Lumpur turned out to be unreliable? What is the world coming to?" "You can’t rely on people found through the same medium used by Nigerian scammers?" "Cancel that Russian mail-order bride!"

Google's Best Idea: A Real-Time Translator on Your PhoneThe idea: Google's "Conversation Mode" is a real-time polyglot and translator living in your smart phone. It listens to a sentence -- "Where is the bus stop?" Then it displays the translation within seconds, and reads back the sentence in the foreign language so you can have a (nearly!) seamless conversation with somebody in a foreign country who doesn't speak a lick of English. Google is traveling around the world collecting speech samples from native speakers to expand their speech recognition technology, called Voice Search. They've added 20 new languages in the past year. Fourteen are available for instant translation on Conversation Mode.
