It all started with something our Social Media Manager Cristiana said: “Guys, why don’t we ever talk about schwa?” You’re right, why don’t we? … But how can we? Oh yeah, by talking! And so Letizia and I had a long conversation about it, thanks to which I learned...

Welcome back to a new episode of “Regions and dialects“! After our Sicilian almond treats from last episode, how about a nice Spritz? I’ll stop with the clichés sooner or later, but not today. Today we travel to the north-east up to Veneto to learn about the dialect, or rather dialects, of this...

From north to south, let’s continue on our journey learning about Italian dialects. Today we’ll enjoy an assortment of almond pastries (which I should have shared with my girlfriend but they’re just too good!) to prepare for a trip to one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean: Sicily....

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.

The debate about who wrote the first patent, understood as protecting the intellectual property of an innovation, is long-lived and ongoing.

As you likely know, it only takes a few clicks to change the input language and then you can type using a different linguistic system, modifying suggestions and (sometimes) the keyboard’s layout. But you may not know that the Google keyboard is the most...

Enzo Jannacci sang “Messico e nuvole” in the 1970s, and it is with this melody in the background that our “Multilingual countries” journey continues. After talking about Canada and Louisiana, we continue travelling south in North America to reach Manzanillo, to learn all about the languages...

The life of a translator is just like Forrest Gump’s famous box of chocolates, as Letizia Merello said in one of her wonderful articles. And yes, it’s true, you never know what to expect in a new project. Every type of text has its own characteristics, each field its own vocabulary, and this is...

Attraverso… on re-reading. I like to joke with my colleagues that we wear different “hats” during our work day: in fact, in addition to the non-translation related tasks some of us have (for example Sheila, the face of our YouTube channel), our typical eight hours are a well-balanced combination of translations and...
