Translators’ Day

We’re not professors or midwives

We don’t bake cakes or brew some beer

But we improve our clients’ lives

By making foreign things quite clear

We know so much in many fields

It’s just a part of our vocation

We can maintain (that’s true, for real)

All kinds of deeper conversations

But mostly we just love to help

There’s more for us in this than money

Without us it would be hell

Machine translation’s far from stunning
