European Multilingual Blogging Day 2013 – The Native Speaker Principle
Today, the blog is participating in European Multilingual Blogging Day 2013, which highlights the multilingual dimension of the web. The idea is to feature languages that are not usually used on a blog – in our case today, German.

Legal translator turned whistleblower
I came across a very interesting case a few days ago, concerning Toyota and a legal translator who decided to reveal documents and internal memoranda to which she had become privy, in what she felt were the interests of public safety.
Research into briefing & commissioning of legal translation
As you may have seen in my previous posts, I am currently carrying out research into the commissioning (buying / procurement) of legal translation, and the briefing of legal translators.
I have had a good response so far, but still need more replies in order to make the research as far-reaching and reliable as possible. If you know anyone in either of the above two categories, I would be really grateful if you could pass on the survey links. From now on they will appear in the left-hand sidebar of the blog, until the surveys close.
Thank you in advance!
