Is she even a legit, real translator? I'm an actual, professional translator. And her twit here gives me the idea she she's a twat. As if she doesn't know shit about the centuries-old debate on "literal translation vs accurate translation", on the "adapting to the target culture despite how it might sensibly change the original phrases vs keeping the original culture that might be completely misunderstood by the new audience"..... and all that.

Can I guess she's not a translator, but a "translator", who gets hired only because, due to her shit-poor resume, they can pay her with breadcrumbs?
