Dear clients and collaborators!
Many of you have certainly already watched the film Lost in Translation by Sofia Coppola and enjoyed the scenes performed by Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray in Tokyo.
Lost in Translation is also the title of a book, which I recommend that you read on the expected rainy days in the autumn. Ella Frances Sanders gathered, illustrated and explained 50 untranslatable words from around the world. How can we translate the Swedish word referring to the third cup of coffee or the Japanese word that means the sunlight filtered through the tree leaves? “…a collection of words you never knew you needed before.” – said the Huffington Post. For translators this is a true nightmare…
Have a wonderful autumn
Yours
Ester Ramos
