If this article is all Greek to you… we wouldn’t be that surprised. Idioms and turns of phrase certainly bring a distinct flavour to the languages we speak, but they can be particularly hard to understand for native speakers, let alone to translate!
At Peschel Communications, we translate what’s on the page, but we also tailor the finished product to fit the specific purpose of the translation.
In the digital age, a job in translation could look like any other office job, but it could also look a lot different. Freelancers can earn a living and still go on holiday at the drop of a hat if they so choose. The flipside of the coin, of course, is that this flexibility means the concept of “after work” starts to lose its meaning. Whether flexibility or routine produces better results varies from person to person and even from year to year.

Marketing texts are about more than facts – they are about emotions. These are conveyed through a rich mixture of language, content and images, often using wordplay, rhyme or other stylistic devices.
