French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

Translation itself: engaging in your target language is great. Also engage in your native language to familiarize yourself with commonly used phrases/terms (ex. game menus)
Freelancing: You don't have to rate yourself like another agency would pay you. You CAN try charging higher for yourself.

To my fellow translators: what do you wish someone had taught you about translation (whether the act or translation or having a freelance job) that you had to learn by yourself?

A joke for my fellow word-tamers:
- How many translators does it take to change a lightbulb?
- Depends on the context.

Now that's Winter, I'm thinking about NEWSLETTER. But I haven't written anything for one yet...
Right now, my energy is going towards preparing Chapter 5 for localization. The translation process begins next week. We have extracted all the English text and we are now annotating it.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the lives of Rita Hester and Chanelle Pickett, Black trans women from our own home of Greater Boston whose loved ones created #TDoV to honor them. Now and always, we mourn and fight for all trans people, especially the most vulnerable among us. 🏳️⚧️🕯️

Transperfect (big Language Services Provider mainly known for how poorly they treat translators) wants:

No AI allowed, how weird?

Chouette fil et ouais applaudissez pas les grosses maisons d'éditions : si elles laissent tomber Angoulême là c'est parce qu'elles auront pas d'auteurs pour les dédicaces et donc tout leur business plan tombe à l'eau.

Aujourd'hui on se réjouit pas mal de voir les maisons d'édition s'enchaîner dans le boycott du FIBD 2026, le mettant en fort péril, et c'est BIEN.
Mais il semble important de rappeler plusieurs choses, comme le fait qu'elles arrivent TARD dans le combat.
