Collage of photos from various ScotNet events showing people in various locations and doing different activities. The background shows bits of the ancient Birnam Oak, a sessile oak and the last remaining tree of Shakespeare's Birnam Wood, made famous by his work Macbeth.
From a small seed to a tree. At @itiscotnet.bsky.social we're celebrating our 35th anniversary. We're grateful to our founders and all the volunteers who've chipped in over the years to help this network grow, adapt and stay relevant. May we all continue to thrive for the next 35 years and more!
Collage of three photos, two square ones at the top and a landscape shaped under. The first one shows Victoria Street in Edinburgh with The Quaker Meeting House sign visible. The second one is a room showing a speaker next to a screen at the far end and people sitting around tables looking towards the speaker. The landscape photo shows the white blooms of snowdrops on their green stems.
It's dreich out there, but our spring workshop is coming!
On the 21st of March in Edinburgh, we'll discuss translation in the area of disaster risk reduction looking at languages and indigenous communities in Latin America, with Dr. Teresa Armijos Burneo.

If you're happily breaking data protection and copyright regulations, why wouldn't you expect the company behind ChatGP to break them too, but only when it's convenient for you? 🙆♀️
For years, experts have warned that nature loss would become a security threat.
Now a national security assessment confirms it: biodiversity collapse risks food shortages, economic instability and global disorder.
Nature underpins our global safety. So why is UK Government failing to protect it?
Our planned events for 2026: pub gatherings in Edinburgh (last Thursday of each month); Spring workshop in Edinburgh on 21 March (about indigenous language); Walking Weekend in the Spey Valley on 8-10 May; Autumn workshop in Edinburgh (early October); AGM and Christmas lunch in Glasgow, 12 December.
Veamos algunas de las nuevas palabras de la edición 24.ª del «DLE»:
"Machine translation would handle the heavy lifting, and we’d add the expert polish. Except the machine made a mess. And we’re doing expert-level cognitive labour to clean it up for cleaning wages.
We’re not mops. We’re translators."

Shame that there are always people who leave their full bags next to the path as if it was someone else's job to pick up their jobbie!
Sign showing a dog walker with two dogs on a lead in one hand and carrying a bag in the other. The sign says: "Finish the jobbie - bag it and bin it. Take it home when bins aren't available."
Good copywriting job (not jobbie 💩) for a sign in a popular Scottish woodland. 😄
So sorry to read this, Isabel. Sending big hugs. 🫂 🫂💜

Hoy, en «Usos de la IA para espantar clientes», la página de bienvenida de Claude. Traducción literal del corporatés inglés, el típico uso incoherente de tú/usted y comas duplicadas, entre otras lindezas. Al menos no es publicidad engañosa: muestra sin tapujos la mala calidad que puedes esperar.
And we found the ancient Babylonian lion head 😄

Appreciate the heads up, @isabeltranslates.bsky.social My computer is playing the same annoying game today. 🥲
Oh, a pope?
Jeanne d'Arc? I want to ask better yes/no questions but can't. 🤣

Is this from Arabic into English or the other way round? I can recommend you to check the ITI's website for professionals with the correct language combination.

Can anyone please help? I’m looking for a translator to help with subtitles on two <1 minute audio recordings. Any pointers greatly appreciated!

«Los consumidores no son conscientes de estos costes, y se ha hecho poco para educarles», dice la UNESCO. Hijos de mi vida, no es que se haya hecho poco para educar, es que se ha hecho un esfuerzo ímprobo por metérnosla hasta en la sopa. No nos quieren educados.

Traductoras, correctoras, editoras de mesa: echadle un ojo a La Tarifadora para saber cuánto cobráis al mes y cuánto deberíais cobrar para estar dentro del Salario Mínimo Interprofesional.
Por aquí todavía no he sido pesada, pero solo quiero recordaros que las cláusulas de ciertos NDA de ciertas agencias son nulas y abusivas. El artículo 14 nos ampara a todas las traductoras (sí a las de juegos también) a decir en qué hemos trabajado una vez es información pública.
Congratulations, @isabeltranslates.bsky.social! They chose their very human translator wisely. 🤗
