A Linguistic Detective is a fancy name I just made up for a Translator.
Because, you see, translation is not at all about how much of the mystery you know. It's about how good you are at finding clues and using them to solve the mystery.
That is... it's not about how much vocabulary you know. It's about figuring out ways to find the the vocabulary you need, and especially, it's about making sure the vocabulary is the right lingo for whatever topic you're translating - so that you solve the mystery correctly.
Well, enough of that, just wanted you to know I'm having heaps of fun!
