I voted "yes". But actually it's inbetween suggested answers. I was born in USSR. And it was pretty late shifting period of it's history. Not to mention I was a toddler so can not remember much. | | |

Although I was born and grew up in the United States, I've now actually lived in Spain longer than I did in the US. I've reached the point where I see myself being from the two countries and feel perfectly at home in both of them. | |

What is the trend? | Nov 21, 2011 |
Nearly 35% (a relatively large number) of the translators who have polled are in another country than where they were born..do we have to infer anything from this? A natural sequel to this poll would be to ask (if you are currently in a country where you were not born), if you are predominantly working in language pairs consisting of the country of origin and the adopted one? | | |
