Textra celebrated its 18th birthday this week-end – well done!
In the course of redesigning this website, Wolfram, of the same agency, kindly spent the time needed to edit my German summary – thank you!
A few years ago I had engaged a native German to translate that text for me. There were a few things there that sat uncomfortably with me, but hey, I thought, that’s why I paid for a native speaker! It’s almost impossible to write truly idiomatic text in a second tongue. But I left his (now deleted) name at the top, as I didn’t want anyone to think that I thought that I could translate into German. So it’s interesting that for all these years it’s been sitting there with some really rather poor expressions in it. Thanks again to Wolfram for sorting that out!
