I just stumbled across your blog and it's been a great read. As a Portuguese translator, I can't stress enough the importance of "trimming the fat" and making sentences read through clearly, without the redudant wording that is unfortunately quite usual in Portuguese. You can probably tell that from this reply :) Thanks for sharing these tips! Hi!

Must have been an interesting workshop. I also recommend seeking for grammar and writing support and excellent proofreading and editing services as they are key in any translation work.

The only time I write these days is when I'm translating and I'm sure that writing my own stuff with the guidance of a tutor, instead of converting someone else's thoughts into French, would help me improve my style and hence the services I offer my clients. I'm not sure it'll be that easy to find a French writing course in the UK, though... I’ve been meaning to do a writing course for a long time.
