It’s February, all the ads on the bus shelters are letting you know that Valentine’s day is coming up, so what better theme to choose to write on than love? What does love have to do with translation and editing scientific content? There are two possible answers to this question: nothing or everything. For me, it’s definitely the latter.

In 2009, and for several years after I started offering my services as scientific and technical translator and author’s editor, my annual review reflected a pretty even split between translation and editing. Over the last 15 years, I have trained and listened to feedback from my clients. As a result, I have adapted my services to meet their needs, including with things that they didn’t know they needed! My activity is now much more diversified activity.
