“The saying "traduttore, traditore" ("translator, traitor") betrays more about how society views translation than about translation itself.”

What do you do?
I read and watch a lot of stuff, and then try to share what I understood from it.
Why?
I find there's something magical in being able to use sounds and images to transfer what's in your head to other people and viceversa (however imperfectly). Translation and game dev are both ways of achieving this, in spite of how different they may seem. It's all creative work, and it's all deeply meaningful to me.
What should we read?
