Translator survival kit:
A laptop that runs on hope
Matcha for the mornings, I pretend to be healthy
Coffee for the rest of reality
A notebook jungle
A cat who thinks he’s in charge
Ritual candle offering protection from plot holes, typos, and incompatible PDF formats.

Currently reviewing test translations for a client (a prominent public institution). In a sign of the times, at least one translator has CLEARLY used genAI to "improve" the original texts with their own additions and changing section titles to make them more 'appealing'. Sigh.

Yesterday, I agreed to provide LQA service for a client but when I'll have no translation jobs.
