TheTranslationBridge.com linguistic blog officially launched by Quicksilver

Quicksilver has officially launched TheTranslationBridge.com, a new site aimed at discussing a variety of linguistic and localisation issues encountered during translation projects.

Why the translation bridge? According to Quicksilver President Colin Whiteley, "there are plenty of places on the web for translators, academic linguists, business people, students and everybody who loves language. Yet although lots has been written about translation theory, it's mostly rather academic and about literary - rather than business - translation, and misses the everyday practical and fun side of working with the language needs of companies.

That's the gap TheTranslationBridge.com aims to bridge. We'll talk about anything and everything which appeals to us about language, translation and business. As Steven Pinker wrote in his book The Language Instinct, "I have never met a person who was not interested in language".
