Thank you, Mats - that is an article worthwhile reading. I particularly liked: "Translators must be one of the most interesting breeds of people. Many are probably a little weird, myself quite possibly not excluded; .....—are really interesting people with strong opinions, which they are eager to try on others. We come from an incredible wealth of backgrounds and bring this diversity to the incredible wealth of worlds that we translate from and into. " | | |
