HOME


Yes, I've been here and mostly there,

a passerby learning strange tongues,

a broken string without a song.


There are deafening deserts

vibrant with nothing short of bland kisses

hissing with shallow promises.


There are mountains so high

that they have hit the sky

to crumble at your feet.



Home's not a place there in the West,

Home's not the East nor in-between.

Home's not a country or memory:


Home is your face,

your warm embrace,

good night kisses

a life to live.


Home…

Home.

Chez moi


Yes, I've been here and mostly there,

Oui, j’ai été ici et surtout là-bas,

a passerby learning strange tongues,

un passant apprenant des langues étranges,

a broken string without a song.

une corde cassée sans sa chanson.


There are deafening deserts

Il existe des déserts assourdissants

vibrant with nothing short of bland kisses

vibrants de rien de moins que des baisers fades

hissing with shallow promises.

qui sifflent des promesses vides.


There are mountains so high

Il existe des montagnes si hautes

that they have hit the sky

qu’elles ont touché le ciel 

to crumble at your feet.

pour s’écrouler à tes pieds.


Home's not a place there in the West,

Chez moi n’est pas un endroit dans l’Ouest

Home's not the East nor in-between.

Chez moi n’est pas l’Est ni entre les deux.

Home's not a country or memory:

Chez moi n’est pas un pays ou un souvenir


Home is your face,

Chez moi c’est ton visage,

your warm embrace,

ton étreinte chaleureuse 

good night kisses

des bisous qui disent bonne nuit,

a life to live.

une vie à vivre.

Home…

Chez moi…

Home.

Chez moi.

Translators are Traitors and rightly so!

By Valérie Marzac
  Sorry to break the news to those who refuse to accept this fact but we translators are traitors and I demand my right to remain a traitor! The famous Italian adage 'Traduttore Traditore" unfortunately cannot be rendered terribly well in English. The pun falls rather flat though the meaning remains understandable. So yes! As translators we are traitors since it's completely impossible to translate without our subjective approaches while our writing style is bound to show.  Even AI can't escape this fact. It may use lots of other people's subjective views but this is what they shall remain: viewpoints. And let's face it, AI doesn't have volition. It can be very fast and useful but cannot replace a human being. I'll be sharing more on this topic soon!    Once I was speaking with an British colleague of mine who asked me whether I believed that there was an actual proper translation for each word or whether I thought that there was a choice of terms

It's never been about whether or not you like AI!

By Valérie Marzac
Let's be blunt about this: No one cares whether you like AI. It has been imposed upon us and we have to deal with it. And that's that. Some scientists predict that AI will take over the world while human beings will become redundant at best and dead at worst.😨 We all know that the translation world as well as the world at large is changing tremendously because of AI. As a translator and writer, when before AI I would be asked to translate a document for say 0.1 USD, now I'm told to proofread/edit the document for a mere 0.03 USD per word. I'm well aware that the documents provided have been 'AIzed'. This word still isn't in the dictionary but I'm sure it will come in no time. Processing documents with AI such as Chat GPT or Gemini is what most clients do to save money on translations.  Before AI, I used to explain to my clients that proofreading and editing often take as much time if not more than actually translating. As any translator will know, this

The most incredible translation into French!

By Valérie Marzac
 A creative translator pays attention to sounds as well as meaning. OK, let's say that you must translate 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte into French. No, not the book, only the title. Well, GOOD LUCK! Rendering the 'wuthering' sound as well as the meaning is a Mission Impossible.  And yet, an incredible translator came up with  "Les Hauts de Hurlevent" (sometimes spelt "Les Hauts de Hurle-Vent"). What an absolutely mind-blowing translation!!! Not only do the French sounds render the rather scary 'Wuthering' but the meaning is also present. I don't know how long it took to translate such a title but my guess is a rather long time.  Yes, we're only talking about 2 words. 2 incredibly difficult words to translate which exemplify rather well the work of a translator. We must pay attention to sounds as well as meaning, especially in a literary and marketing context and this can take ages. You can 'Chat GPT' or whatever, on
