HOW TO SPEND HOURS AND HOURS ON A SINGLE SENTENCE

Confessions of an audiovisual translator - Part 2

Sometimes I spend half an hour thinking about the proper translation of a single sentence.
Am I slow? Am I stupid? No, I'm just a translator.

​Whenever I face a particularly challenging sentence, especially a poetic one, I find myself thinking about it over and over again. 

Audiovisual translation is a creative job, so it may take time to find the right solution!

And if I have writer's block, I like to take a walk outside and focus on something else for a while.

I feel you, Winnie. 😂
