PEN America Finds Literary Translators Underpaid, Underappreciated - Publishers Daily
 |
| I didn't know any of this about translators. |
The post is about a PEN America report released last month about translators and how they're paid and recognized for their work. The last section of the post is an examination of how AI is impacting book translations. Included in the post are links to other reports and analysis relating to translation work.
Panzer says, "This little kitty didn't know translators were paid by the word."
Note: This is a very long post. You'll need to decide what to bring to snack on.

A Panzerism
Panzer on the Zen of teaching cats:
When you tell a dog to sit,
it means he can relax and get off
his feet for a minute.
But ...
if you tell a cat to sit,
that cat has to wake up, stretch,
 |
| Listen to me ... It's not going to happen*. |
then get up to sit.
So I think you can take sit off the list of things to teach a cat to do.
