A few months ago, we discovered a fantastic new resource for interpreters. It's a monthly newsletter cleverly titled "
The Interpreter's Launch Pad." What do interpreters and astronauts have in common? Read the newsletter and you will find out. Interprenaut, a smart female interpreter/astronaut (get it?), will be your friendly guide on this exciting journey.
This newsletter is jam-packed with jewels of witty writing, courtesy of the very talented
Nataly Kelly, also known for being the chief research officer at the
Common Sense Advisory. We've long lamented that there aren't enough newsletters and blogs dedicated specifically to interpreters -- well, the wait is over!
It's completely free to sign up at the
The Interpreter's Launch Pad website (we love the graphics, by the way). There's no catch, and don't worry: you won't get any unsolicited e-mail. You will, however, get a free digital book just for signing up. It's Nataly's fantastic book "
Telephone Interpreting: A Comprehensive Guide to the Profession." Enjoy the ride!

We (Judy and Dagmar Jenner) are a pair of identical translating and interpreting twins working in Spanish, German, English, and French (Dagmar only). We were born in Austria, grew up in a bilingual household in Mexico City, and run our translation, interpreting and copywriting business, Twin Translations, from Vegas and Vienna (Austria). In this blog, we dispense (useful) tips and tricks on how to run a translation business. We frequently share what we know with fellow linguists via our "The Entrepreneurial Linguist" workshop. The "Entrepreneurial Linguist" book was published in April 2010 and is available on www.lulu.com. Judy pens the monthly "Entrepreneurial Linguist" column for the ATA Chronicle. She holds an MBA in marketing from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dagmar has a graduate degree in French, a translation degree and is finishing her graduate degree in French and Spanish conference interpreting at the University of Vienna. In addition, she is writing a dissertation about the feminist discourse in Chilean novelist Isabel Allende's work. She is the secretary general of UNIVERSITAS Austria Interpreters' and Translators' Association. Judy is a master-level certified Spanish court interpreter in the state of Nevada and serves as the president of the Nevada Interpreters and Translators Association.
