What is common in your field but shocks outsiders? Translation is about 80% skill in your native language, 20% skill in your second language. It's not about knowing what is being said. Anyone can do that. It's about saying the same thing in a different language with the same emotional impact.

What is common in your field but shocks outsiders? Montessori and Waldorf are like, opposite ends of the spectrum in fancy educational philosophies in early childhood.

Have you read that newish book on translation by Damion Searls? You'd like it if you haven't. I read it earlier this year, then that one led me to Why Translation Matters by Edith Grossman. They'll tell you stuff you already know in your DNA, but they get into granular specifics that are fascinating
