The estimable Emma Goldsmith, a medical translator with a background in nursing, is conducting an anonymous survey to gain an overview of workstation set-ups, break strategies, and upper-body problems of translators and editors, and to investigate how respondents counteract the negative impact of working long hours at the computer.

The survey, on the platform ‘EU Survey‘ made available by the European Commission, has 18-35 questions (depending on your responses) and will take about 5-10 minutes to complete.

She is collecting no personally identifiable information, and all items are optional.

The survey will close on 5 April 2023.

If you are a full- or part-time language professional who spends hours sitting or standing at a desk – do this now!! Take the survey here.
