Y yo que pensaba que estaba sola (Paul, por supuesto, sabe lo que pienso de los 0.04 euros para abajo). Mira, estoy dispuesto a ayudar a una economía en apuros (España va bien) y por eso
I love the job, Werner, and I don't earn half as much as many others. I travelled because of it, I studied because of it, and I'd probably be doing something related to it if I weren't int
Guys, (or girls), VAT depends on your "epígrafe". Literary translators are classified differently from translators and interpreters per se, who have to pay VAT. For the rest of the requir

A fertile field in which to look for untranslateable words is anthropology. Where the concept or the object named does not exist, or did not exist originally, there won't be likely to be
