In this issue: Kristin Fehlauer, Senior Editor & Translator<\/p>\n
I believe the trickiest words or phrases to translate are those where the natural expression in the target language requires more information than is available in the source. For instance, I translate from German into English, and we recently translated the phrase \u201cg\u00e4ngige Hersteller\u201d as \u201cmajor manufacturers.\u201d In English we would normally say \u201call\u201d or \u201cmost\u201d major manufacturers, but the source text didn\u2019t specify. In such a case, you have to speak with someone in the know, do some detective work, or get creative and reword!<\/p>\n

I absolutely love having a desk that can move up and down. I hate sitting down for too long, so it\u2019s great to be able to stand up and stretch and keep working!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I like the people I work with; it\u2019s a very congenial and non-toxic atmosphere. And I enjoy learning about new things. We work for a lot of different companies and I often have the impression I\u2019m getting a glimpse behind the scenes of everyday life. When I buy frozen Korean dumplings in Munich, how did they get there to the store? What does an aircraft engineer focus on when designing a jet engine? What makes soap lather good (or bad)?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I like dogs because they\u2019re so enthusiastic about everything, but I understand cats better\u2014and not having to walk a cat at 6am on a snowy Saturday morning in winter is a real plus!<\/p>\n

Usually paperback. I\u2019ll go through phases where I\u2019ll listen to an audiobook, but usually one of a book I\u2019ve already read so I don\u2019t have to pay too much attention. Then I can have it on in the background. If I\u2019m reading something new, I like to have a pencil in hand so I can write notes to myself in the margins.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Coffee most of the time, but tea with honey and lemon when I\u2019m sick.<\/p>\n
