@madelinepotter.bsky.social It would be great if you could message me, if you're willing to help the student I've been in touch with?

On my list already 👍

Absolutely LOVE this - you can see how well crafted it is. And the voice is perfect. Now I really badly want to read the other birth-related thing you've been writing about 😍

Ah bless. And what a way to bond together, love it

You've just sold it to me! It doesn't look anywhere near as appealing as you make it sound - you ought to get a job writing blurb 😁 Sounds life-changing

Oh lordy, don't want it to bring anything like that back for you 😬

Oh no, I'll take a look!

Really hope you like it - I absolutely loved working on it.

Thank you!

Oo thanks Annie, that's so helpful!

Oo thank you! Good idea.

👋 Hello lovely Blueskyers! Do I (or you?) know any gothic novel fans (or even better, with links to the UK publishing industry)? A student I know is keen to ask research questions about British gothic novels by women authors over the years and their correlation with societal changes. And pls share!

Ah that's really lovely thank you! 🥰 And a fabulous interview, love it

@ronanhession.bsky.social hello! I wanted to message you about an ARC of a book I think you might like but I see I can't (you must be too famous now you're hobnobbing with Julia Roberts 😆). If you'd like to have one, could you get in touch please, maybe via my website joheinrichtranslation.co.uk ?

Hmm I must ask him. In all fairness, it was 5:30 in the morning when he wrote it on his way out...

In other news, my son has unwittingly written his own version of the plums in the icebox poem…

Even though it's non-fiction? If so, I'll see what I can do

Out today! I have learned SO much translating this book and I’ve been surreptitiously quoting from it whenever the conversation’s turned dark for months. Now you can too!

AI and subtitling: How machine translation affects the viewing experience - Stockholm University Subtitling has long been a central part of the Swedish television experience, but with the rapid development of AI and machine translation, the subtitling industry has undergone a significant change. ...

"Machine-translated subtitles processed by post-editors also have almost 7 times as many errors as human-translated subs."

"While the technology has the potential to save time & resources, an important question remains: How much loss of quality are we willing to accept?"

Two children at school in uniforms and it looks like Japan, both of them look like girls or femmes. One is holding a giant tuba so that it's stuffed over the face of the other one that's pinned up against the wall. The one holding the tuba is labeled every company. The tuba is labeled unwanted AI And the one against the wall is labeled me

Oh! I assumed it was a brilliant example of your way with words and thinking outside the box. I wouldn't mention the template if I were you 😁

Wow, never mind anything else, just that gorgeous 2025 written in words rather than numbers alone has blown me away!

Thanks Rachel, and hello @iamgermany.bsky.social 👋

And thank you for organising it, it was great!

Good morning!

Good morning! Not exactly a blue sky but it’ll do

Oh yes please!

Great list! Although the only things I've had published have been from German so far, I do French to English too - I'm actually better at French!

Oo can you sue?! They pretty much ARE a doorstep on their own 😂

That's a lovely comment to make, compared to so many who haven't even registered that translators had anything to do with the book
