Sludge pumps! May 9, 2007

Surprisingly, there is little of interest to say about sludge pumps.

But what I like about translation is that it's like a brief visit to another world, but you only have to stay in it for the duration of the job. Imagine if your whole life was writing about or trying to sell sludge pumps! At least the translator delves in, does the job then moves on.
