No, I was having a laugh, as they say. The idea of a translator paying for anything ...!!
I'm enjoying taking a break from Swedish to catch up with a bit of Danish literature. Haven't got a translation project on the go at the moment, but I have just been propositioned by a Swedish academic who wants me to check the English of a book he has just written in our lingo about past Nobel prizewinners for science. This guy was permanent secretary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and professor of virology at the Karolinska Institutet, but his email suggests his English might need more than a little tweak. I'm thinking about it. Don't know why he couldn't just have written it in Swedish then commissioned a proper translation.
