		<title>Why I don&#8217;t translate into German</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m originally from Germany, clients or colleagues sometimes ask me to translate into German, and are often surprised that I categorically refuse to translate from English back into my &#8220;mother tongue&#8221;. The fact is that I have been living &#8230; <a href="http://www.apriltext.co.uk/translation/why-i-dont-translate-into-german/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Notes from Berlin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I was in Berlin for my mum’s birthday. It is quite a special place, Berlin. And I&#8217;m not just saying this because it is where I was born and raised. It has changed a lot, of course, since &#8230; <a href="http://www.apriltext.co.uk/well-random/notes-from-berlin/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Blogger&#8217;s block (and its positive side effects)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has to be said: I haven&#8217;t posted much on this blog these last few weeks. Instead I&#8217;ve been tiptoeing around an increasing number of draft blog posts, without being able to publish any of them. The block I tweak &#8230; <a href="http://www.apriltext.co.uk/blogging/bloggers-block-and-its-positive-side-effects/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>The power of doing something – anything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed how things often happen as soon as you take action? And most of the time action and effect are not even directly related. Inviting serendipity On Tuesday, I finally sat down and rewrote the German version &#8230; <a href="http://www.apriltext.co.uk/well-random/the-power-of-doing-something-%e2%80%93-anything/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Raising the image of the translation profession</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The post I wrote about Chris Durban&#8217;s talk at the ITI Conference caused quite a stir. It generated more comments than any post on my blog so far (granted, the blog is only a month old, of course!).

		<title>The thorny issue of quality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the highlights of the recent ITI Conference was Chris Durban&#8216;s &#8220;Mystery Shopper&#8221; talk – a recycled version of a talk she gave earlier this year at a conference in the US. The Mystery Shopper experience was a report &#8230; <a href="http://www.apriltext.co.uk/translation/the-thorny-issue-of-quality/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Just in case you were wondering&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know that in the translation world – especially in the English-speaking translation world – translating out of your mother tongue is frowned upon. Whenever I tell people that I translate from German into English (and only in this direction), &#8230; <a href="http://www.apriltext.co.uk/writing/just-in-case-you-were-wondering/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Haiku and poetry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Haiku have become something of a fashion. Probably because they&#8217;re considered quite easy to do. Just follow the 5-7-5-syllable pattern and you&#8217;re there&#8230; Only, it&#8217;s a bit more complicated than that. First of all, it&#8217;s not syllables, it&#8217;s &#8220;mora&#8220;.

		<title>Embracing procrastination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Procrastination – one of my favourite subjects. In fact, judging from the number of blog articles about it, it almost seems to be every blogger’s favourite subject&#8230; I suppose, procrastination and creativity go hand in hand, like day and night. &#8230; <a href="http://www.apriltext.co.uk/blogging/embracing-procrastination/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
