I was invited into translation by a client of mine, VOLVO, Germany, where I was teaching automotive English. This was in 1979. They asked me to translate the engine details for the then 740 series. It was fascinating. Anything that any department at VOLVO had have translated from English to German or German to English was translated by myself up to 2002. By then I had already been living in Thailand for 6 years. Further details please see: http://www.proz.com/profile/564179 and you will realise I enjoy technical machines/constructions that I build in my mind, when I translate about them. Images and drawings are helpful at times, though. |
