A typical day
A translator's day is quiet: a document in the morning, a glossary open beside it, a machine draft to fix or a blank page to fill, then a self-revision pass and a colleague's revision. Several pages in a good day. An interpreter's day is the opposite: you show up at a courtroom, a clinic or a booth, take turns with a partner in short stretches, and finish drained.
