Italian term or phrase: she vs I
Devo tradurre il curriculum di una persona e ho notato che l'ha scritto tutto in terza persona.
Ad esempio:
La dott.ssa XY è nata a Venezia il ....
Nel 1971 si è laureata con lode ...
Ecc.

A me sembra un po' strano mettere in inglese "she was born ...", devo forse cambiare l'intero curriculum e mettere "I"?
