This thread is part of the Translator playground: a place for translators to have fun, to network, to learn, and to hone their translation or linguistic skills. See the announcement here.

Need a quick break from work? In this forum translators and language professionals can share pictures of found mistranslations, comics, images representing translation, etc.

All are welcome to participate and to add new items to this and the other areas of the Translator playground; have fun with it! If you need help or would like to propose an addition to the Translator playground, contact site staff through the online support system.

This is more of a creative exercise. What do you think were Donald Rumsfeld's" thoughts when this picture was taken? Suggest what might go in the speech bubble to match this simultaneous interpreting situation.

What about you: have you received that look on an interpreting assignment?
