This thread is part of the Translator playground: a place for translators to have fun, to network, to learn, and to hone their translation or linguistic skills. See the announcement here.

Need a quick break from work? In this forum translators and language professionals can share quotes about translation, tongue twisters and word plays, translation challenges, etc.

All are welcome to participate and to add new items to this and the other areas of the Translator playground; have fun with it! If you need help or would like to propose an addition to the Translator playground, contact site staff through the online support system.


I've come across this hilarious post with .gif files depicting interpreters' feelings at various working situations.

My favorite ones:

1.
When I am working in this huge room and I have no idea whether someone’s listening to me.



2.
When there’s no wi-fi in the meeting room.


3.
When this horrible meeting on biocides is chaired in my mother tongue.



4.
When a meeting planned for the whole day ends at 1.30 PM.


5.
When a delegate takes the floor and I can’t tell if he’s speaking Latvian, Estonian or Bulgarian (or just bad globish).


6.
When I manage to use that beautiful idiom but fail to understand the next three sentences because I’m so thrilled.
