So I finally finished translating a technical document from English to Spanish. If someone offers you to translate something think it twice. At first I thought it would be easy, now I would never do it again 😭

@criw I can imagine especially for a technical document. I've studied tech writing and it's so much harder than "regular" writing, never mind then translating it.

@jegoodwin To be honest, I now appreciate much more the work of technical writers. It's such a difficult job to keep both the general and the technical legibility and structure of the document.

@criw I used to help my dutch coworkers do that with english. It is tedious yea.
