Exciting News: Launching A Book Club In English!

I love reading!
I dedicate 50% of my time to reading.

What I absolutely love is that I live not here with you, friends, family, clients, collaborators, and other wonderful people, but in other places where jaw-dropping landscapes and memorable characters shine.

I love the feeling that when writing about a topic, I get a tentacle that draws me into a story that I read a long time ago. That familiar air stops me in my word tracks.
…..

I was very lucky to grow up in a house full of books…

I have written more about my reading passion in this article on Fragrantica: What Three Fragrances Would You Take On A Desert Island?

All the details about this new Book Club will be published soon.

TOPICS FOR OUR BUSINESS ENGLISH COURSES: Subprime Mortgage Crisis

Subprime Mortgage Crisis

The expansion of mortgages to high-risk borrowers, coupled with rising house prices, contributed to a period of turmoil in financial markets that lasted from 2007 to 2010.

How and Why the Crisis Occurred

The subprime mortgage crisis of 2007–10 stemmed from an earlier expansion of mortgage credit, including to borrowers who previously would have had difficulty getting mortgages, which both contributed to and was facilitated by rapidly rising home prices. Historically, potential homebuyers found it difficult to obtain mortgages if they had below average credit histories, provided small down payments or sought high-payment loans. Unless protected by government insurance, lenders often denied such mortgage requests. While some high-risk families could obtain small-sized mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), others, facing limited credit options, rented. In that era, homeownership fluctuated around 65 percent, mortgage foreclosure rates were low, and home construction and house prices mainly reflected swings in mortgage interest rates and income.

Search Engines vs Artificial Intelligence: https://blog.seocopywriting.ro/2024/04/29/search-engines-vs-artificial-intelligence/

Suchmaschinen vs Künstliche Intelligenz

Wir leben im Informationszeitalter, das sich schnell in das Zeitalter der Entscheidungen verwandelt. Bitte lesen Sie mehr in meinem alten Artikel von 2018:Bist du ein rebellischer Schriftsteller?

Wie einfach ist es, Informationen zu finden? Wie findet man genaue Informationen? Sagen wir mal, seit zwei Jahrzehnten benutze ich Google und präzise Schlüsselwörter, um Informationen zu finden. Das beste Beispiel für mich war, als ich ein bestimmtes Lied fand, das ich vom Soundtrack eines Films liebte, und ich die Schlüsselwörter auf YouTube eingab.

In letzter Zeit habe ich mit der KI experimentiert und an einer Konferenz bei Esxence in Mailand über die KI und die Kunst der Parfümerie teilgenommen. Bitte lesen Sie meinen Bericht auf Fragrantica.com: ESXENCE 2024: Tag der Parfümkunst mit Künstlicher Intelligenz.

Während meiner Erkundungen fragte ich mich, ob wir es aus der Sicht der Suchmaschinen und der KI mit einer Revolution zu tun haben, da viele Menschen auch berichten, dass sie KI-Lösungen nutzen, um relevante Informationen zu finden.

Meiner Meinung nach, und wie ich in meinem Bericht für Fragrantica erwähnt habe, überprüfe ich IMMER meine von der KI gewonnenen Erkenntnisse.

Wenn wir uns die Daten ansehen, hatte OpenAI laut Similar Web im Januar 2024 mehr Besucher als Google.

Schlussfolgerungen
Aus der Sicht der Suchmaschinenoptimierung ändert sich das Spiel erneut, wobei KI der Hauptveränderer ist. Nie ein langweiliger Tag für uns, SEO-Wissenschaftler. Wohin führt das? Was ist die Indexierungsstrategie der KI für Ihre Website?

Make Mistakes

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.
So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.” – Neil Gaiman

What Does A Translator Do?

🔔“Translation is something of the runt of the literary litter, more often perceived as grunt work than art work,” Max Norman writes. “Its practitioners have rarely received attention for anything other than screwing up.” In the United States, it’s estimated that about 3% of books published annually are translations. But translators are increasingly visible in the public sphere.

Inspired by The New Yorker

💆I have been a translator for almost 25 years. I have translated a wide range of topics, including business, architecture, technical books, articles, laws, contracts, and poetry, but my primary area of expertise is legal translations.
Nonetheless, what I mostly do is transcreation. 

🔔What is transcreation?
Transcreation is a term coined from the words “translation” and “creation”, and a concept used in the field of translation studies to describe the process of adapting a message from one language to another, while maintaining its intent, style, tone, and context. A successfully transcreated message evokes the same emotions and carries the same implications in the target language as it does in the source language.

💆Translating is like swimming. At least for me. It can be a bit risky, but it’s manageable if you know the right moves, the right words, and the right structure. It becomes pleasurable. I like translating, and I have a passion for new and old words and their etymology.

💆With so much experience, I do not do extensive research anymore before translating.
I have compiled a glossary of the most challenging terms I have encountered.

✨Nevertheless, I check all the new terms (if there are any) in dictionaries and specialty documents. That is the lengthiest task when it comes to translations. 

💸Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to be useful, but it cannot understand the specialized vocabulary used in the corporate, legal, financial, and railway industries.

💆I perpetually use three dictionaries: the Cambridge dictionary, Black’s Law Dictionary, and an etymology dictionary. 

✨We have a lovely translation offer for companies! Check it out: 🔔ABONAMENT DE CURSURI ȘI TRADUCERI PENTRU COMPANII❗️
