Quoted for... Oct 27, 2012

I was about to write "quoted for truth", but as we're not here to dispense or validate absolute truths, let's just settle for "quoted for making a commonsensical point that I happen to agree with"

In my experience, the translators who really "rock" the world are the quiet ones who don't need to emit lots of hot air. The ones who work for world market leaders solely, the ones who are the voice of CEOs and presidents, the ones whose skill will decide if a company will penetrate a foreign market or not. The really good ones are the quiet ones - they don't have to toot their horn. Chiefly because they are always booked up to their eyeballs. They don't "tweet" and they don't "update their Facebook" like hysterical soccer moms or Justin Bieber fans. They know where NOT to advertise.


On the other hand, there is one person whose relentless work upholding translation standards and the profession in Romania I'd like to see recognized here - our colleague Cristiana Cobliş. I look forward to reading interviews with such people. Avid facebookers need not apply.
