I've been rather quiet on Twitter recently. The last 18 months have been a bit of a bumpy ride for me but I took advantage of the situation to write the book I've always wanted to write: lnkd.in/egeWfbEe

Seth Godin @ThisIsSethsBlog was kind enough to send this msg on translation, AI & humans to SFT's #UETF2023 uetf.fr in Luxembourg last week. Key takeaway: time to raise the bar. @CarbonAlmanac @fit_ift @FIT_Europe @SFTfr @ITIUK @kvashee

It was my first #Scotnet workshop for a while and it didn’t disappoint. Still as informative, entertaining and well organised as ever. It was great to see so many friends and colleagues again after so long. Many thanks to the committee for all the hard work.

.@ITIScotNet summer workshop in Edzell has been great fun – a weekend of food and champagne. We Scotnetters like the finer things in life… Thank you @translator_mike and @AHcreattrans for the great presentations!

Thank you Alicja
Loved @AHcreattrans’s talk about champagne translation. Reminded me of a crémant tour I did in Luxembourg when I was living there 🇱🇺

Enjoying listening to @AHcreattrans talk at the build-up to the @BP_conf about her book and what's involved in the self-publishing process - can't wait for the conference itself.

My grandchildren feature in my book so it’s only natural they should sign too (they think they’re going to be famous and I haven’t had the heart to disappoint them). amzn.to/3UdxfQB

Alina @InboxTranslate took this photo of my mini book launch last night to celebrate #InternationalTranslationDay2022. We didn’t even realise at the time that the Largs sunset backdrop was perfect because my book starts and ends on a Largs sunset @zimbuddie

Listen up, linguists (you are acknowledged and appreciated).

Please take a sec to listen to this extraordinary video where @SecBlinken discusses the critical role of diplomatic interpreters. Right now translators & interpreters sit at the very center of any nuclear showdown w/ Russia. Every word passes through them first. Please retweet!
