Attraverso…on discussion. Be honest: how do you feel when you get an email that has the word feedback in the subject line? When we talk about our work we rightly tend to highlight our skills, our strengths and our successes, but we all know that nobody’s perfect. That’s why it’s total normal...

Today we’ll set off on a new exploration entitled “Regions and dialects“, which like all trips can only start from home. Liguria is the magnificent, intriguing strip of land between the sea and the mountains that we indeed love to call home. Letting ourselves resort to stereotypes for a moment, Ligurian...

The debate about who wrote the first patent, understood as protecting the intellectual property of an innovation, is long-lived and ongoing. In short, the debate is between those who believe that the basis of the first patent must necessarily be legal and those who, on the other hand, maintain that its birth coincides...

Bonjour, hi! In the last episode of “Multilingual Countries” we visited Canada to learn about the languages spoken in their beautiful country. In this episode we’ll travel south, all the way down to the deep south! Today we’ll visit Louisiana to learn about another multilingual state. There are...

The text “Machine translation – Sfide e opportunità per il traduttore professionista” (Machine Translation – Challenges and Opportunities for Professional Translators), edited by Domenico Lombardini and Diego Cresceri will soon be available online.
