@translatorsanonymous

Anonymously famous since November 2012, this blog is run by two translators, most of whom are girls, who sometimes lovingly have a go at each other's languages. Sharing the everyday neuroses of translating. You can like us on Facebook (And you really should because there's a whole lot of discussion going on there.)
