Excited to have received my complimentary copy of The Routledge Handbook of Translation Technology and Society, which includes a chapter I co-authored with Silvia Terribile entitled "Translation Technology and Human-Machine Interaction". #machinetranslation #MT #postediting

The fact that it has taken so long is beyond me.

Manchester Box Cup 2025 ✅️ #EnglandBoxing #Manchester

Honoured to have been a judge for the North Wales Box Cup 2025. It was a pleasure to see so many young talented boxers with a promising future ahead. (And I've got a medal!) #NorthWalesBoxCup2025 #NorthWales #amateurboxing #welshboxing #deeside

Gutted to have missed #EST2025 in Leeds, but glad to see so many inspiring posts from colleagues and friends. I hope to be able to make it to the next one. #translation #translationstudies #interpreting

In her new book, 'Before Gender', @elierlick.bsky.social explores lost stories of trans youth in the US, UK and elsewhere. Emma Heinrich’s story shows us how young trans girls explored their identities before our modern concept of gender, read it below 👇 'Before Gender' is out now!

Shocked by the appalling events in #Liverpool this evening. My thoughts are with those affected by this incident.

Right. The UK-EU deal seems promising, especially for exchange students and young(ish) workers. It remains to be seen whether such a 'deal' will translate into more EU students applying to British universities over the next years. #Brexit #EU #newdeal

Calling interpreters! There's still time to register for this free webinar with lawyer-linguist Sue Leschen on Thursday this week at 11am (UK time): register.gotowebinar.com/register/499... #Interpreting #Prison #CIOL #Webinar #CPD

Gratulerer med dagen, #Norge! 🇳🇴 Happy to have lived and studied there. Wishing my family and friends a great celebration. #17mai

You know it's bad when not even the US Secretary of State can justify the onslaught any longer. Stop this senseless loss of human life now. Allow humanitarian aid. #FreePalestine #FreeGaza

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia #IDAHOBIT. As a British bisexual cisgender man, I can't help but worry about the recently released ranking of LGBTQ+ Rights, which shows that the UK has plummeted to the 22nd position. For context, the UK was 1st in 2015.

Thursday next week, 22 May: free webinar with lawyer-linguist Sue Leschen on the unique challenges of interpreting at prison visits, shedding light on the complexities of working in these environments.

As it is Global Accessibility Awareness Day ( #GAAD ) we'd like to re-draw your attention to this particular passage from the Researcher's Guide to Bluesky (blogs.york.ac.uk/library/2024...). Go to Settings >> Accessibility >> Require text before posting. Takes a second, makes a difference. 🧵

This nonsense has to stop NOW. #Israel has a lot to answer for. I'm with the people in and from #Gaza and #Palestine. Allow humanitarian aid. Save lives. Stop this senseless war and loss of human life. news.sky.com/story/sixtee...

Breaking News: José Mujica, the leftist former president of Uruguay known for his humility, has died at 89. Known as Pepe, he had a reputation as a savvy leader of the country's progressive coalition, his informal governing style baffled the establishment. nyti.ms/45cnutZ

A great move that many other regions and nations should emulate. Protegir el #català ajudarà amb la immersió lingüística i cultural.

Dangerous rhetoric. I would have expected this from Reform UK but not from the #Labour Party leader and PM. This is not the party I voted for (or perhaps it's always been?) in the General Elections. news.sky.com/story/who-pm...

My former supervisor Prof. Annjo K. Greenall ( #NTNU #Norway) is conducting a pilot study on song lyrics and she's looking for native #English speakers of any variety to fill in a questionnaire. If you meet the criteria and have 10 mins to spare, follow this link: nettskjema.no/a/518958#/pa...

Excellent opportunity, indeed!

He literally put Uruguay on the map. I left the country well before his term in office, but his achievements fill me with pride and he will be sorely missed. Descansa en paz, maestro. #Mujica #Uruguay

Last day of teaching before going on parental leave. This year has been a blast and I can't wait to see what the future has in store. Although I'll miss my wonderful colleagues and students at #York #UoY, I'm looking forward to being a #dad (perhaps my most challenging project yet). See you in 2026!

Let's be crystal clear: 'Everyone is welcome here!' @uoylangling.bsky.social #transgenderrights #transgender #transpeople #UoY #York #lgbtq

Today we were joined by Dr Silvia Terribile, who talked about her research on machine translation and PE effort. Looking forward to hearing more about how an algorithm could potentially optimise the most tedious tasks of the PE process. #MachineTranslation #PostEditing @uoylangling.bsky.social

36 positive reviews and counting. #Feedback from clients is absolutely essential, not only to know how well we performed but, most importantly, to identify areas where we can grow and do better. #freelance #translation www.proz.com/feedback-car...

As has become tradition, this year I returned to #NTNU #Norway to give a guest lecture on #translation and #AI. It was interesting to listen to students' thoughts on human-machine interaction. Although AI is a powerful tool, human oversight is (and hopefully will remain) essential.

Más allá del tono amarillista del artículo, sí es cierto que el nivel de inglés por lo general ha bajado en los últimos años. Da que pensar. www.bbc.com/mundo/articl...

I'm immensely proud of my partner. He trained hard day in and day out for this match, and he raised money for cancer research along the way. What a journey! ♥️🥊 #WhiteCollar #charity #boxing #beatcancer #wigan

Would you believe we've written another guide to Bluesky? For a slightly different audience this time - the University guide to Bluesky is specifically aimed at academic departments, professional services, and the organisational side of #HigherEd rather than the individuals. We hope it's useful.

Food for thought. #Multilingualism #AI #Translation #Anglosphere www.ciol.org.uk/languages-ar...

What do you think of #subtitles? We want to hear your opinion! The UK #Subtitling #Audience 🎬 Survey is collecting information on #viewing habits and #perceptions of subtitled media. It should take about 10 minutes. We would love to hear from you 😊 app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/arts/uk-su...

Always a pleasure to visit my alma mater and catch up with dear colleagues and friends. On this occasion, I presented at #IPCITI2024 #Manchester. Kudos to the organising committee for making this possible. You've done a fantastic job (and kid you not, I even had churros for lunch!)

Here is a starter pack for academics and researchers in Translation Studies. Please let me know if you want to be added to this list. @neilsadler.bsky.social go.bsky.app/Mto2Yuo

No amount of training prepares you to become a good lecturer. Through my reflective practice and a trial-and-error approach, I have been able to improve my teaching skills and become a more confident lecturer along the way. Still much to be learned from our students. #TranslationStudies
