Me: “It’s just a simple sentence.”
The translator: What dialect? What register? Is there sarcasm? Cultural references? Legal implications?

Hi there #translationtwitter / #poetrytwitter, where do y'all stand on translating form poetry - how much weight do you give form vs. content? Trying to translate a sestina here, among other things, and... it's complicated. Advice? @PeriscopePoetry

What are people's thoughts on translating non-fiction articles (essay, opinion, review, etc)? How easy is it to place stuff like this (i.e. get published) compared to prose/poetry?

Translation question, particularly for people familiar with Spanish banks. How would you describe (or what would you call) the small room/booth at the bank entrance with a cash machine in that often stays open even when the bank itself is closed...but succinctly #xl8

🚨#HoeraHuizinga Blogpost🚨
Graeme Small (@IMEMSDurham) introduces the new English Translation (@LeidenUPress/@ChicagoDistrib/@UChicagoPress) and reflects on the use of retranslation, in line with Huizinga's sense of research & writing as provisional.

Since it is Saturday night and I am a wild reveller, I have a sudden craving for books on bias in translation. Any bias would be interesting, but particularly gender bias. Any recommendation? #translationtwitter

The day I am able to translate an interview like this and @iamcardib's #WAP to Nepali, is when the game is over for @belakoboli ;p त्यसपछि त सक्किगो नि 🙈😂

An official reason/excuse to buy another #book this week. Lots of translator love for @KatyDerbyshire on #translationtwitter.

One of the things we’re missing out on with the cancellation of the @LondonBookFair is the opportunity to spend a couple of days celebrating the brilliance of Translator-of-the-Fair manquée @KatyDerbyshire. So let’s do it anyway?

hey #translationtwitter #teamtranslation does anyone have any recommendations for authors/texts that discuss the act/significance of reading translations rather than only looking at the role/act of translators?
