In this space, I will post some images that affirm the importance of professional translations in a light-hearted way. These are my own photos of things I come across in everyday life, on the street, in restaurants, in package inserts etc.; at home or abroad. 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!
