Professional language translators need inspirational boosts just like any other human being from time to time. These are times when there seems to be no translation job in sight, or so much to do at once that you don’t know where to hide. Then events like the current recession happen and you wait for your turn to get sacrificed at its altar.
Closer home you might just get tired of tapping away at your machine day in and day out. If you work on your own, then the loneliness will start driving you mad, if you are employed with a language translation company then you will come to hate the long commutes and/or the fixed office hours.
Life’s never perfect.
And that’s why we need inspiration.
