I am mindful of my self-imposed duty to this blog, but I'm right in the middle of a large job at the moment so I'll keep this rather short.
There are two things that I have noticed during this job. One is that I am now more seriously considering a TM program. It would help with term consistency within the document, of course, but this document is also closely related to a previous document that I worked on (proofread rather than translated) a little while ago and it would make consistency between the documents easier. As it is, I am looking at previous notes as well as the translation and source of said related document. At this stage it is probably too late to do anything since I have no idea how long it would take me to set up and fiddle around, but it is something I am thinking a lot more about. I am familiar with TRADOS and know that I can import source and translated documents and match them up but are there any other suggestions of good products?
The second thing I noticed is that the closer a deadline is, the easier it is to keep. So far I have been pretty good about keeping disciplined and staying on top of things, but it is really tempting to say, "sod it, I have heaps of time," and slack off.
Also, today is my 5th wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary S____, only 2 more years to go.
