Or maybe it's not regular enough so humans can still outdo AI... Thomas McAuley, any leads?

Great corrections of our time… an 'unbelievable opportunity' for any #Japaneses or #Japanesers who're 'paying attention' and want to work with Google AI on #DeepLearning and #MachineLearning … 日本人人? ニホンンジンン? #HumanIntelligence seems limited too.

Today's online AGM of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting's Japanese Network: "Not much on the agenda..." --> over 2.5 hours later, a very productive and enjoyable meeting with around 40 colleagues closes. :) ITI Japanese Network ۫

A company named after the Rosetta stone has banned all employees from speaking foreign languages. 🇬🇧 staff can't speak 🇯🇵, 🇯🇵 can't speak 🇺🇸 / 🇨🇳, etc. prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p… They'll communicate only via MT, to "free them from the risks of miscommunication". That'll go well! 😂

7h preparing for a 1h interpreting job. I didn't charge for 8h, but the 7h #CPD investment (+many others) are of course reflected in overall rates… which reminds me of another Graybeard: buzzmaven.com/old-engineer-h…

"What's the market rate?" "What do translators earn?" Within the space of an hour, I've had one Japanese linguist ask for '$23/h, negotiable' while another (different job) refused $900/h as 'too low'. #翻訳時給 #通訳時給 #相場

We're delighted to help with translations for #草間彌生 once again. For those who can't make it to Tokyo, you can see #Kusama-san's latest works online: otafinearts.viewingrooms.com/viewing-room/4…

Happier times? The 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games official report (digital.la84.org/digital/collec…) praises interpreters often. This year complaints seem to be flooding in ('sign language interpreter left in the rain', '86-yr-old double volunteer denied wheelchair'…). #東京 #五輪 #通訳

In case you missed The Innocent Ear on ALL FM 96.9 today, here's what BJ Translations, The Hoodeners 🐴, Impromptu Ensemble 🎻 & Ozaru Books listen to. A quick shout-out to alice chater 👩‍🎤and The Gorilla Organization 🦍 amongst many other inspirations… mixcloud.com/moz-walsh/the-…

An investor wants to talk to someone familiar with the UK translation/interpreting industry about historical/future growth drivers, leading firms, market impact of new tech & COVID-19, etc. Paid work (1h conversation): let me know if interested.

Sad news, on the day a friend closes his 30-year-old translation business due to a depressing downturn… x.com/TelegraphLife/… @tradegovuk's "grants of up to £9k to support areas inc. translation services" look ineffective; some ۫ / @atc_translation members doing OK though
