What is on Every Translator’s Wish List

Happy International Translation Day! On this day, I would like to wish my fellow translators and interpreters:

Higher rates
Better clients
A more prosperous career
A good night’s sleep!
A well-deserved vacation
Deadlines that are easier to meet
Well-written source texts
To be paid on time
To be able to say “no” without ever feeling bad about it!
To be thanked for your hard work
Enough coffee for you to produce one hell of a translation!
A neat, clutter-free and impeccably organized desk (freelancers will relate)
Completely work-free holidays
Fairly paid last-minute jobs
A better memory (can I get an Amen from interpreters?)
Doctors’ reports that are well handwritten
Last but definitely not least, to learn and master as many languages as your heart pleases!
