It's been a long time since I've translated an academic paper.

I'd forgotten how much academics like to pad and obfuscate.

So much of my translation work in recent years has been for museums, where the goal is concise, clear, easy-to-read copy—the polar opposite of most academic writing, come to think of it.

Dear client, this translation is likely to make your paper readable. My apologies! 😳😬🙄
