I used to be a translator (a long time ago). I'm no longer in that line of work, but friends still ask me for recommendations when they need a translator.

I know we have a lot of translators on Fedi and I would like to connect with you!

If you are a translator who may be taking new clients in the next year or so, please raise your hand, say what languages you work with, and share links to your websites, etc., if you have them!

@ShaulaEvans thanks! I'm a professional writer with plenty of experience translating German to English -- technical material, museum texts, message lists for websites and software, etc. some fiction as well. I'm old school and eschew machine translation when possible. I use open-source tools (OmegaT). interested parties can hit me up at https://danshick.com

@datn Dan, how did I not know that you do translation?

What other secrets are you hoarding???

@ShaulaEvans I'm old! :) I've done a bunch of stuff, which your amazement is making me feel a lot better about, truly. I was a systems administrator for 25 years... been married & divorced twice... never broken a bone... had a stroke at age 50... I have an extremely good ear... what else can I tell ya?

and what secrets are *you* hoarding? :)

@datn You've been busy! I'm so sorry to hear about the stroke, which I wasn't previously aware of -- I hope you're recovering well and you've had a lot of support through it all.

Me? Hoard secrets? I'm sure I don't know what you mean. 😇
