Process

👉 Quick skim to get the feel of the text, maybe take a look at websites, images...

⌕ Look up special words to remember (no, translators don't know everything! We wish...)

☕︎ Make a cup of tea in an appropriately themed cup (history = Bailleux tapestry or Rosetta Stone replica, makes me feel clever 😎)

⌨ Dive straight into translating (because I'm usually foaming at the mouth

🧐 Compare your text to my translation; does it *feel* the same?

🗣📢 Do a read-through out loud to catch any weirdness 

👀 Do the spell check, check against aaaaaaallllll the word lists I have to make sure everything is correct 

📬 Send everything off to you, always on time

🥂 Have a drinky-poos to celebrate (never in the week, as I'm a responsible drinker 😁)
