Translator playground: a place for translators to have fun, to network, to learn, and to hone their translation or linguistic skills. See the announcement

Need a quick break from work? In this forum translators and language professionals can share quotes about translation, tongue twisters and word plays, translation challenges, etc.

Translator playground; have fun with it! If you need help or would like to propose an addition to the Translator playground, contact site staff through the
