Excellent, informative event for a wide audience. The talks were evenly spaced at a reasonably fast pace but with intelligible, soft-spoken speakers who kept the listeners/viewers attention all the while. Looking forward to the new, updated products/tools of the trade. Thanks for a swell meeting of the minds. and free at that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
It was really a very interesting conference which provided us with sufficient data concerning SDL trados. The event was really technical and informative. It makes us aware of all details concerning Trados software. Thank so much for this fruitful event.
I think the idea to do x-writing stems for translators who entered the business because they originally wanted to be a writer, and that didn't work out.

Sometimes that's the case, but some other times both activities may stem from a love to language, right?

I wrote when I was younger (i have an incomplete bibliography somewhere on the net), and if people nowadays ask me whether I write, I always say "no". But I'm actually still writing, be it my own stuff on my own blogs and on all kind of media, primairily to promote my work.

I mean, I am a translator and a writer, but I take the two separately. For me, they are miles appart.

I don't like language. I like the content you can distribute using language. That's an entirily different thing.

Mind you, I don't mean I hate language, I only mean language gives the possibility to convey meaning. That might be a technical manual, but it might also be a story.

Science fiction. Some fantasy. And some other things. Nowadays it's primarily non-fiction.
