Peter Christensen<p>So, machine translator, I have this alphabetical list of contributors in French. Some of them have official English names, some don’t. I need you to go through them, determine which have English names, replace FR with EN where appropriate, and put the new list in alphabetical order. Oh, and if there are any errors in the French names, I want you to correct them. You can do that, right? </p><p>🦗🦗🦗</p><p>Machine translator?

Peter Christensen<p>Just to give you an idea of the kind of BS this PM is shovelling at me: I'm translating the subtitles for a video. In this case, there will be parallel FR and EN subtitles. At one point, I translated “toute sorte” as “all sorts" and the PM wants me to use a singular idiom "so that people don't think there's a mistake in the French subtitles.” </p><p>Please, God, on the off chance you exist, take me now.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/xl8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xl8</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/xl8freelancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xl8freelancer</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/TGIT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TGIT</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rant</span></a></p><p>(OK, I'll stop now.)</p>
Peter Christensen<p>I was wondering why I was feeling uneasy about this document – no red squiggly lines anywhere. It was eerie. </p><p>Turns out, the client sent this MS Word document with with spelling and grammar set to “Hide Spelling Errors/Hide Grammar Errors."</p><p>Seriously, there should be a special place in hell….</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/xl8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xl8</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/xl8freelancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xl8freelancer</span></a></p>
