A question for AnneGuedes the translator

[amaraltheofficeboy]

when did you become involved in the translations?

i saw a lot from Innes and other people a long time ago - but not from you?

[registrar]

True Ines has been doing translations for many years - so have others

'Anne the translator' - I have never come across

[amaraltheofficeboy]

well AnneGuedes - the member here says she has translated things

The first translation I made was Silvia Batista's statement, I think.

was it an original translation or amendment to someone else's translation?

Any translation that has not been made by an accredited professional translation bureau is worthless.

A bit sententious, don't you think, Rachel ? I certainly shall not to list here all the translations I did. I translated and rewrote during 4 years the Portuguese press review (to French) for the UE Commission. It's pretty difficult to get that kind of job.

[AnneGuedes]

you said all the things were translated professionally

No, I couldn't possibly say that. I said they were translated rigorously, they were checked many times. I can assure you that every time I found a misinterpretation and alerted the PJFiles site  the translation corrected. I'm sure errors remain. I haven't read all the files, but the most important ones.

rewrote?

Prove what ? Prove you're not Ines first ;) !

do you have a problem with Ines or her translations?

I am watching this with great interest

[AnneGuedes]

I translated and rewrote during 4 years

rewrote?

Yes, when the original is badly written, you have to rewrite as well.

do you have a problem with Ines or her translations?

No problem with no virtual creature. I read the files in Portuguese, not in English.

May I be brutally frank with you Anne?

I am polyglot

Though not a qualified translator or interpreter

But your command of the English language - although decent - is nowhere near good enough to translate anything

Apart from say an Ikea instruction booklet on how to assemble a bed

Ines & Astro knew their languages - both native and foreign

wrong?

?

were translations wrong?

[Carana]

Just reading here.

I'm fairly sure that Anne and I are unlikely to agree about a number of things.

That said, I do believe that, if asked, Anne will try to translate something as accurately as possible.


ETA: And will double-check on facts.
