It seems that The Silent Sea is using at least two alternative ways of writing South Korean names that was not in the Netflix Style Guide.

A wonderful thread about translators and authors. How we can help our translators. (I have been so fortunate in my translators for the most part.)

All extremely true. Common novice mistakes: - Disregarding good EN grammar to adhere to JP grammar - Not looking up names/terms/catchphrases - Not asking relevant questions about the material (because they don't want to sound dumb/bother the lead) - Rushing at the last minute

In the second of our two-part interview with the #FinalFantasy VII Remake localization team, we hear about the lines they're most proud of translating, retaining the humor of the original Japanese, and even a little insight into the names of Wedge's cats... #FF7R

I hope that the US translators' world is small enough, so somebody can help me out. I'm looking for a way to contact (an email will do) Andrés Alfaro, the translator from Iowa City who has translated Manel Loureiro's The Last Passenger. If you have any info, please let me know.

The way some French words look misleads translators into ascribing them more meaning than they really have. Don’t fall into the trap. Here are some examples:

If you are a JP-->ENG literary translator and are BIPOC, I am in a position to hire 2 #translators for a tiny project. Priority given to Black/Afro-Asian translators but NBPOC should feel encouraged to reach out. My DMs open 'til Fri. 6/26...1/2

Yo @Spotify, do you need an editor for @SpotifyID? "disini", "dimana", & "di rilis" are common typos in Indonesian, but they are being used in your tweet post, exhibition text, and campaign copy. I guess for your target market, "taun" is okay. Right pic courtesy of @willytbk.
Disini juga ada “A Decade of K-Pop” dimana kamu bisa lihat perjalanan K-Pop sepanjang dekade ini! We're waiting for you at Central Park Mall Jakarta. Who's gonna come? 🙌 #SpotifyWrapped #KilasBalikKpop

Do translators & interpeters need translation / interpretation MAs? I believe that no, you don't NEED an MA, but classes CAN be useful. Let me tell you my story... (I'd love to hear people's take on this, too! Do you think translators and interpreters need MAs?) 1/5

Content strategists: What do you all use for managing terminology within your company? I'm looking for something more robust than a spreadsheet, but more lightweight than Acrolinx Term Browser. Does anything like that exist?
