Everybody knows how difficult can be to
find a file, or an old e-mail or even a picture in a computer overcrowded by a
huge amount of archived files and documents. And how quickly any computer can
pile up any kind of stuff, either useful or not, recent or old.
But technology will save us all! A new
family of software programs is now available to overcome the problem of
searching files: they are the desktop search programs, and the most popular are
Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, AOL and the newcomer Blinkx.

Translating Poetry |
|

Written by malka omer

Has any of you ever experienced the agony of translating a poem?
I guess agony is not the only term that descibe the whole thing.
Confusion is also there, and exhaustion as well. The agony that every translator feels when one undertakes the arduous task of translating any piece of work. The task of being faithful to the source text or author.

I come from a country which by now I'm sure is known to the whole world, but living in Iraq is beyond anyone's wildest imagination!!
Leaving politics, wars and all that is related to them aside let me tell you how life in Iraq has affected me or the part of me that is the translator not (the person, the woman, the mother or simply the human being!)
You all must have had computers and access to the internet for years. As for us we've only had this privilege for 3 years.

THE TRANSLATOR’S PRAYER |

THE TRANSLATOR’S PRAYER
O Reviser which art unbearable,
Pitiless be Thy rigour.
Thy fall shall come
Thy will shall be ignored,
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Yield on this day
Before our objections of every day
And forgive us our mistranslations,
As we forgive your atrocities.
Let us not succumb to the temptation
Of taking advantage of TERMIUM
Instead of using the library,
But deliver us from gallicisms.
For Thy word is law
For ever and ever,
Amen.
