PROFESSIONAL INFO
I became a translator because I love to read, to write and to solve riddles. And translation is exactly doing these things. You have to read the text, and not just read it, but also understand it. You have to solve it, like a riddle, every sentence, every word should fit into the meaning. And in the end, you have to formulate the translation. You have to be a writer.
“"Translation is like a woman. If it is beautiful, it is not faithful. If it is faithful, it is most certainly not beautiful."
- Yevgeny Yevtushenko
