"So you are a translator. You have a loving, intimate relationship with words. You thrive on the challenging, mind-wrestling quest for equivalence and you care not just about style, register and cultural nuances, but most of all, about the quality of your work. You are a linguist, a writer, a cultural expert and a field expert on many subjects, a researcher, a graphic designer... A one-man orchestra. You work autonomously and are driven by mastery. Yes, you are a TRANSLATOR".
