I love what I do Feb 20, 2007

I can't see myself becoming just a broker. ▲ Collapse

Other: Terminology research Feb 20, 2007

Love translating, love freelancing, would NEVER stop translating texts.

But I also love researching terms, working on dictionaries...

Nice to be able to combine both and choose what to translate.
