Jenn Mercer   United States Local time: 14:30 Member (2009) French to English MODERATOR	Depends on the format Aug 15, 2011 Is this an incandescent, compact fluorescent, or LED bulb? Will a format change be required. There is an hourly fee for converting incandescent fixtures to take LED bulbs.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Jan Willem van Dormolen   Netherlands Local time: 20:30 Member (2009) English to Dutch + ...	Actually an old one (but good one) Aug 16, 2011 How many translators does it take to change a lightbulb? 1) That depends on the context. 2) What will clients expect us to do next? 3) One, but he'll have to charge by the hour and he can't give a firm quote until he's seen it, because God only knows how it was changed before. (The last time he took a job like this, someone had wedged a "glow pear" in the socket.)   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.
