If you are about to share your home with a freelance translator these are some good points to keep in mind before it's too late:
- They don't necessarily follow the traditional 8 working hours
- A cup of coffee has the power to transform their typical growl into a smile
- They'd praise anyone who could invent a machine that made them translate even while they sleep
- Holidays, patron and birthday? What are you talking about?
- They end up checking all your purchases to see whether they are translated correctly
- Their classic professional attire is a pair of sweatpants
- Don't fool yourselves, they will correct every single one of your typos
- In the summertime their favorite tan is Pale white
- They do like to meet people and even go to parties, even if doesn't seem so
- When working on a rush project everything is secondary to the deadline, even cleaning the house
- They don't JUST speak 2 languages
- Nobody EVER knows what they do for a living
- Being a translator is a state of mind
- They luuuuuuuuuuve cats
- Just because they speak to the Wi-Fi signal it doesn't mean they are crazy
- When the rest of the neighborhood will be fast asleep, your apartment will still have the lights on.
