🌎 Happy International Translation Day! 🗣️

September 30th was also the day we celebrate the incredible work of translators, interpreters, and terminologists around the globe! 🎉

You are the invisible bridges that connect cultures, facilitate understanding, and allow knowledge to flow!
Today, September 30th, we observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

It is a solemn day to commemorate the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools in Canada. It's a day to honour the Survivors, their families, and communities, and the children who never returned.
Better late than never!

Yesterday was Franco-Ontarian Day! Did you know the Franco-Ontarian flag was first created in 1975 by Gaétan Gervais, a history professor at the University of Sudbury, and Michel Dupuis, a political science student.

Happy 50th!

Why are interpreters always eating?!?🍔🍟😋

Thinking, especially intense or difficult thinking, can make you hungry because the brain consumes glucose (sugar) to fuel its activity.

This photo may or may not be an accurate representation of me replenishin' fuel for my brain.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

I hate to be a downer, but the summer is winding down. 😭 The end of summer not only brings the fall, but it also brings the busy season for us!

If you have an upcoming event, reach out to discuss your needs so we can book your dates to ensure availability and make your event a success!
Ever have the pleasure of listening to a monotone speaker? It's terrible. As interpreters, we are tasked with translating and conveying the messaging of the speaker. AI just can't match the ability of a human interpreter!

Language matters. Simply interpreting or translating with a word-for-word replacement isn't necessarily a true interpretation of what is being said. Colloquial language, or expressions, can have far greater meaning than just that of the words themselves.

A recent Microsoft study, based on data gathered from 200,000 conversations with their own Copilot chatbot, suggests that interpreters and translators are the number one job that AI is most likely to automate.

What are your thoughts on this?

Did you know there are about 12 inches between your brain and your heart? 🧠📏❤️

Despite those 12 inches, if your emotions and logic aren’t both in sync with the work you do, you will be miles away from delivering a powerful message!

Metric > Imperial 😆
