In this space, I post images that reinforce the importance of professional translations in a light-hearted way. These are my own photos, taken at home or abroad, of sights I have come across in everyday life, on the street, in restaurants, on package inserts etc. I do not intend to mock anybody who is not fluent in a foreign language. To the contrary.
Note: Please, do not reproduce or use my pictures without my permission!
