The most creative poll so far Mar 5, 2017

However, some of the most appealing titles are definitely missing...

For instance:

1) "To translate or not to translate?"

2) "50 shades of proofreading."

3) "Hey, this is not proofreading, this is PEMT!"

4) ?!

I love the first option, but would prefer "Pride, Prejudice and Proofreading" - IMHO, this just looks better.

A Midsummer Night's Deadline Mar 5, 2017

Well, Anonymous has finally come through with a really good question!

If I look at the dark side of my life as a translator, it is one long series of looming deadlines.

Terrific poll! Mar 5, 2017

I answered Nearly 100 Years of Solitude, which is the part of translation I like most. But looking at the current state of the industry (quality and all that), I wish it were Sense and Sensibility.

Finally, after 70 years, this Dutch classic has been translated into English, see over here. The relevance for freelance translation probably needs no further explanation
