Having moved over here from mastodon.social, it is time for a proper #introduction. I am a #translator and work from English and Russian into German. My main focus are articles and books about #Russia and #EasternEurope. Occasionally, I do some writing of my own,.
My posts will mostly be in German, sometimes in English and infrequently in Russian. I am interested, among other things, in #translation, #language, #literature, #philosophy, #culture, #history and #society.
Somewhat-delayed #introduction time! #HelloWorld #NewHere (ish)
I'm Jinx, a #songwriter before all else. I also sing, and try to play #guitar and #keyboard.
I'm a trained #translator and worked as a #translation editor for 10 years.
I'm a voracious reader of #books, I like #writing #fiction too, and I love #learning. (1/4)
Time to #introduce myself. Better late than never.
I'm a #Moluccan girl (51), born and raised in the Netherlands. Educated to become a medical/technical #translator, English into Dutch.
Recently, started #ShaolinKempo and fairly good at it already. It's the combination of getting even stronger and disciplined that does it for me.
Spend my time as deacon of a Moluccan #church where I was baptized in another lifetime. Main #caregiver of my 80 y/o dad.
Love tooting!
A friend is looking for someone who speaks fluent Cantonese to help her with the language barrier around coming out as #trans .
Her wife's parents speak English, but not well enough to likely understand this topic. The wife lacks the terminology in Cantonese to explain that the friend is transitioning. They'd like to talk to a fluent speaker and determine how to do this.
Boosts welcome, as are DM replies. Yes, this is a serious request.
#translator lover of #people #languages #plants #books and #animals looking to connect with #language experts and anyone who plans vacations around a #library or #bookstore #introduction
I'm a Japanese to English translator, based in Kawasaki. Originally from Australia.
I ran two ttrpg sessions in 2022 - normally pretty busy with 2 young kids.
We need your help!
Do you know any other language than English? Then please contribute to translate Overload into as many languages as possible.
Feel free to add any other languages you know 😄
All translations done until the next version will be added to the next version :)

New instance, new #introduction!
I'm a woman in my 30s. I was born in #Québec City, I moved to #Vancouver for my first real job as a #translator and, a few years ago, I moved to #Ottawa with my husband so we could afford a house.
I mostly write in English, but don't hesitate to toot at me in #français!

I love #videogames, mostly #FFXIV right now. I have an #ebike. I love #books and #cooking. I miss #travel.
I'm very much pro (vaccine, science, choice, mask, etc.).
Come say hi 👋
New profile, new #introduction
I'm Ártemis, aka #queerterpreter. This is my academic/languagery account, or that's what I'm going for. I'm a #sociolinguist and a PhD Candidate researching non-binary Spanish. I'm also an ES<>EN #translator and #interpreter. My diss leans heavily on #corpus linguistics, specifically corpora scraped from the birdsite. The data is safe but I'm in mourning.
My more personal acct is at @queerterpreter, feel free to follow both or just one (or none) 
Hi everyone! Just want to do another intro because I got an influx of followers the last few days. Welcome & nice to meet you~
I am a writer, poet, and literary translator. I spend a lot of time these days thinking about wuxia (loosely translated as martial arts) fiction, non-western narrative structures, Classical Chinese poetry, folklore, unofficial histories, c-dramas, language learning, and equity issues within the fields of publishing and translation. #writingcommunity #writer #translator
Hi! I'm a full-time freelance #translator from #Spanish, #French, #Catalan, #Portuguese, and #Ladino into English.
I work with varied texts but agencies and other clients like to imagine I'm a specialist: one only sends me biomedical texts, another only stage plays, another only insurance or real estate or environmental, another only corporate docs, and another mainly early-modern #Jewish texts.
I grew up in New Jersey, lived for years in Philly, and am now in Upper Manhattan.
#introduction oh bonjour, I'm Clément, I toot in French and English (and anywhere in between): I'm a literary and technical #translator (EN->FR), and I will probably toot about languages, books, games (of the video or role-playing kind), politics, and of course #translation. And I'll never not find "toot" funny. Bienvenue ! Toot.
And here's my website: https://clement-martin.fr/en/home/
