Greetings!

We've been busy the last two months: several translation projects, a few writing projects, and, of course, our blog posts on language. Learn about the active voice, the last two speakers of a dying language, and which languages are the most difficult to learn.
 

Check out our new Testimonials page (thank you, clients!) as well as the new images on our home page.

Company News and ProjectsA
Translation. RedLine picked up two new clients in the last two months. The first is another translation agency in San Francisco. The second is a business unit of one of the biggest media companies in the world. Below are some of our recent projects:
  • the QA portion of a French audio project
  • QA for a French-to-English project on energy-saving tips
  • Chinese-to-English subtitling of video interviews for a corporate end client

 

Client testimonials. We asked our clients if they would be willing to write a few words on our behalf. They responded! Thank you to all our featured clients. (See below.)

Final Word: Dictionary Adds New WordsC
Language purists, I have bad news for you: language is constantly evolving. Merriam-Webster recently completed its update to the Eleventh Collegiate. Here's a sampling of the new words that were added:

 

  • cloud computing
  • craft beer
  • game changer
  • sexting
  • tipping point

 

See 25 of the new words.

 

It's interesting that we consider the dictionary an authoritative source for linguistic information, yet you'll see new words in many other places long before you see them in a dictionary.

 

Thanks for reading,
RedLine principal Matthew Kushinka

 

Cordially,
