Francesca Matteoda

Imagina que llevas un año escribiendo una novela con tremendo mimo, la autopublicas y, creyendo que llegarás a más gente, usas la #IA para traducirla. Como el resultado es HEZ, llega avalancha de críticas negativas y tu obra queda mancillada. Planazo, ¿eh? slator.com/kindle-transla…

What an enjoyable read this month’s @ITIBulletin is. Particularly enjoying the articles by @architectransl2 @integlangsbiz @FMatteoda and of course our outgoing CEO Paul Wilson. Keep it up, folks - sterling stuff!

Language professionals: Please share my survey on ergonomics and health! Qs on workstations (chairs, desks, peripherals), breaks & exercise, and the physical impact of long working hours. Complete here⬇️and then retweet! ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runne… #xl8 #t9n #editing #writing

Fun catch-up with @METMeetings Madrid locals @_OliverShaw, @jwillislee, @mattmorganes, @FMatteoda, Simon B, Cathy M, Tom OB and Diahnn T. Thanks for organizing, Oliver!

ITI and CIOL express our concerns to the Home Office iti.org.uk/resource/iti-a…

As one Bulletin goes to press, another one slouches towards the Editorial desk…and if YOU have an idea - or the idea of an idea - for a feature or a review do get in touch because this is the ideal time to pitch for the May-June issue and we can give you a LOT of support.

Open to all translators – you don’t need to be an ITI member. Take the survey and have your say!

@STEcopywriting I’ve been providing my translation and editing services to the same agency ever since I went freelance, 23 years ago

Just realised I've had the same window cleaner for 27 years 😮 What's the longest professional relationship you've had – as either a client or a supplier? #AskTwitter

@AnMaTranslates @gukkaybi And yet the Romans built roads and “drove” on the left, like in the UK…. (Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s something I’ve heard many times)

@gukkaybi Hi Selma :) I discovered that it comes from ancient Rome and their philosophers. Everything that was on the right was good and on the left - bad.

I said to my partner this morning that "I got out of the bed with my left leg". How do you say "get up on the wrong side of the bed" in your language? #MondayMorning #xl8 #ITIcommunity

@ComunidadMadrid Una pena que todavía sigan sin aceptar la sangre de los que hemos vivido en Reino Unido durante los años de las vacas locas… ¿no sería hora de cambiar de idea, igual que han hecho los americanos hace poco?

🩸 La Comunidad de Madrid organiza un macromaratón de #DonaSangre. 🏥 Desde mañana y hasta el 14 de enero, en 30 hospitales y unidades móviles repartidas por toda la región. ✅ Desde el jueves, dispositivo especial en la Real Casa de Correos. +Info: c.madrid/zwbrh

@RguezDeusPili Oh wow, I must go!

@polish_linguist 1) sit/stand desk, 2) I like sitting on a fit ball 3) 2 screens 4) there’s a Swedish app you can download that reminds you to get up and stretch every hour and shows you a few simple stretches. I can’t remember what it’s called

Any office gadgets, keyboards, software you'd recommend for translators? #xl8

@HealthyTransl8r So should we eat brown bananas or not?

Small, intentional habits can help you maintain a healthy routine: • Focus on movement rather than exercise • Think about hydration, sleep, stress reduction • Forget perfection, sometimes ‘good enough’ really is good enough

@radhikahlmstrm Congratulations!

@Iberia Hecho

@FMatteoda Hola Francesca, sentimos mucho leer esto. ¿Podrías escribirnos por DM, con todos los detalles de lo sucedido y tu código de reserva? Muchas gracias.

@Iberia una vergüenza. 3 h 15 de retraso en el vuelo IB8770 y a una pasajera minusválida en silla de ruedas, de 94 años, no le ofrecen ni un vaso de agua, ni comida, ni la posibilidad de llamar por teléfono (todas cosas que aseguran en su página web).

@iberia_en shame on you. My 94-yr-old mum, in a wheelchair, had a 3h15 delay on her flight yesterday. She wasn't even offered a glass of water, let alone food and 2 phone calls as advertised on the Iberia webpage. Shocking.

@AllegroLT @renewablexl8r I have addressed as “Hello dear” more than once!

@renewablexl8r Ha ha! Guess I should be grateful in that case 😂
