Coming up soon! I'm posting it a few days ahead of time so you can organise proper celebrations for the feast day of Saint Jerome, patron saint of translators! Skdadl, I believe he is also the patron saint of editors. As many of you may recall, Jerome is traditionally represented in his study with his pet lion basking in the sun by his feet - amazingly, the large feline is not trying to place himself between the writer and his work ... as I'm sure cats have done from the times of cuneiform and papyrus to the latest computers. http://www.translators.org.za/indexes/english/jerome/jerome-history.html
