The poll should have been, what was your first reaction when you finally found all the words you were looking for AFTER sending the translation to the client?

I would love to translate Firefly (by Joss Whedon and Tim Minear) into Spanish. It would be creative, fun and a big challenge since the original is pun-loaded.
Yes, i have them well organized and categorized and subcategorized and checked whether they still work, and I sync them between my computer, external hard disk and laptop.

It´s solved. That was it. Deinstall it, turned off the UAC and install it again and now it´s working as it should... (I hope). I reinitiated the computer just in case...

Sorry for not giving much info. I was (am) so distressed...
If you can help me I would very much appreciate it. Here is the information you asked me about:
The version is Trados 2007
I bought Trados 12 hours ago, just before going to bed. I installed it, paid for it, did the activation, had a peek and I was happy.
This morning I cannot even start it, I get an error

I answered that I would tell the client and charge for my time (as [b]corrector[/b]) since I would check whether the translation is any good but that has never happened to me.

Actually it was me who suggested the poll and it was because I thought I was getting paranoia. I was so annoyed every time the telephone rang and saw that it was a friend or a family membe
Andrea said it in a nutshell. That's exactly the disadvantage if you work from home, you are available to all your friends either for a talk or a visit. Or at least that's what they think.
Yes, I have learned a lot, thanks to you. And most of all I learned how much I still have to learn. I should know more about Dutch literature, maybe learn swahili and try to distinguish mo
One of my favorite TV series of all time. I think it hasn't been aired in Spain so my guess is... it hasn't been translated either. It's full with puns and one-liners so you really have to
Most of the times I found the solution on internet. Deleting tmp files and doing a system restore have done wonders to my computer.
Another solution to all the problems I used to had
After learning the hard way (loosing more than 2000 photos I had stored in my external hard disk), now I have not one but two external hard disks!

I find it very irritating when I get a text in Word with the forced line break. Wordfast considers this breaks as a segment so I have to copy the text, paste it in InDesigh and do a Fi
When I saw the results of the poll and saw a 70 % of people who answered 'no'. I expected at least half the translators out there having pain in their necks and wrists...

Thank you Andrea, but I am seriously thinking since she has a plot that maybe I can

Marion: It seems like we would be able to chat at the powwow in The Hague. Anyway
Thank you Albert for all the info. It's nice to meet a Dutchman who still feels proud about his country and defends it at all costs. It is also nice to know that not all Dutch are from Ams
Thank you, Marion, for a lovely dinner. Very well organized (I am impressed with the picture of the bill!!). I have uploaded a few low quality pictures. It was my first time in Eindhoven,
I just find it fantastic to be able to stretch my body like they do and do all the positions without a sweat...and talking out loud while doing abdominals!!
Yo muchas veces prefiero leerlos en inglés o en holandés o en francés, lo que sea con tal de evitarme el dolor de cabez de intentar descifrar lo que "realmente" quieren decir.

I have written sketches for the Spanish television (paid and screened) and I am on my way to write a screenplay.
I have to say this is one of the most interesting polls I have ever see
Nice powwow! Now I know how to pronounce the word! And most important of all I met you all. Everybody was friendly and willing to share their experience and knowledge. Good opportunity to

How important languages and translation are. It's quite scary though that there is just one predominant language: English. But if you think about it, the same thing happens here...
I live in Holland and I charge VAT(19%) to my Dutch and Spanish clients. Up till now that hasn't been a problem since I always got small to medium sized translations.

Ten eerste mijn excuses voor mijn Nederlands die minder goed is dan wat ik zou willen.
Ik werd boos toen ik las hoe ze mensen (vertalers) handelen. Het is vernederend.
Je vroeg wat
La verdad es que me parece una broma de mal gusto, no me lo puedo creer. Lo peor es que la gente inculta lo va a tomar de referencia como argumento de autoridad.
