Lucybird Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi Ethan, to the forum. What types of books do you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi Ethan, to the forum. What types of books do you like? Paper ones mostly, but I have an eReader however it takes quite some getting used to. Oh, you didn't mean that though I quite like Sci Fi and Fantasy, some crime and general thrillers.

Ghost Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 That was a nice gesture, thank you! It didn't actually come out right in Finnish but I got the idea of what you were trying to say. Fail! Translators are often like that, at least I didn't say anything inappropriate this time, there was another time that I did the same at work and ended upsetting most of a country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Fail! Translators are often like that, at least I didn't say anything inappropriate this time, there was another time that I did the same at work and ended upsetting most of a country I was dreaming of becoming a translator at one point in my life and this career adviser of sorts asked me if I was worried about the future in the translating business because of computers taking over. I answered 'no' back then and I haven't changed my mind about that yet I thought the funniest slip in that Finnish translation sentence was the translator translating 'I' into 'I-KIRJAIN' which means "LETTER I" in English By the way, I'm curious about the other incident when you upset people with the translation, would you mind telling me what happened?

Ghost Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yes it would seem the future of actual human translators is secure then lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
