We all have that special Christmas wish list we secretly, or perhaps not so secretly, want to share with Santa. For our STB Christmas wishlist this year, we were lucky enough to have some of our translators share with us what they would really like for Christmas.
Let’s have a look at some of the highlights, by singing a traditional Christmas song with a twist. Feel free to join in if you like!
On the 1st day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… some awesome translations relating to sewing, the feedback I got when I sent them was glowing!
On the 2nd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… a desk with a treadmill to walk while I work, it keeps me quite fit, but I look like a jerk.
On the 3rd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… instructions to learn how to use ‘MemoQ’, a CAT tool that helps me to do work for you.
On the 4th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… Romanian lessons and, to keep up with fiction, I also received an Audible subscription.
On the 5th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… the gift of world peace, to cure all our ills, and also some decent time-management skills.
On the 6th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… praise for my work to allay all my fears – plus guaranteed work for the next thirty years!
On the 7th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… a ‘Traduire’ subscription (un journal français) and a year’s membership for the ATA.
On the 8th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… a new laptop (I’ll throw the old one away) and a client that pays me in golf holidays!
On the 9th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… some marketing jobs for my creative fix, and some books filled with grammar and stylistic tips.
On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… a trip to a lovely German Christmas market and a clever device to translate to my target.
On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me …
… some training to boost my professional growth and a game with some accents from right round the globe.
On the 12th day of Christmas … I was too tired, so my true love just told me what you all desired!
Why not let us know what your perfect gift would be this Christmas. You never know, Santa might be sitting behind one of the desks at the STB office making a note of your wishes!
