How neat! This is the first one I've seen for interpreters. The one for translators hits the nail on the head when it says "How Society Sees Me" under a picture of Nicole Kidman from The Interpreter. The sub-caption is "They always think I'm an interpreter."
Hi Judy and Dagmar,
Thanks for this post. I just found a link to two more of these, for translators and freelancers, which I thought you might enjoy:

@Andie: too funny -- if we only looked like Nicole Kidman, hehe (before Botox, that is). We don't remember all the details about the movie, but from what we recall, it wasn't a very realistic depiction of the life of an interpreter. :) We'll have to watch it again. Thanks for your comment!
@Megan: thanks so much for sharing these. They are great, and of course everyone always thinks translators are interpreters...
I really loved your poster! It really depicts the way society sees interpreters. :-)
And many thanks to Megan who shared in a comment the link for my blog post about what translators and freelancers actually do. :-)
@Aleksandra: thanks for commenting and we are happy to share this great meme that we found on the Interpreter's Launch Pad. :)
