I feel like readathon vlogs are my favs - there are always these fun little things in it, like the baking! Just precious!

As someone getting a master's degree in translation (English is not my first language), it's true what you've said both about two translators not being common practice and about there not being a hard and fast rule for how it's done. Without getting too much into translation theory, what sometimes happens is someone translates a text from the language it was written in to a different language and then someone else translates it from that language to a third one. Someone could also have done a second pass to make it sound more natural even though I don't think a secondary translator would be hired just for that unless the text was really challenging. I've also personally never heard of two translators both doing their translation of a text and then mashing them together, primarily because it sounds like double the work to reconcile two completely different iterations of a text, but theoretically it could be done.

I just wanna say I love these vlogs so much; books, baking, family activities. They are just so wholesome and cozy.

The clap and the light turning on!! You are the queen of transitions.

The transition between lights off and lights on was so seamless and satisfying. A+

"In this house the dead live too long and the living not long enough" CHILLS. Thank the gods Woodworm is already waiting for me on the library holds shelf! Also I scream-laughed at "is that the moon?!" 😆

Regarding translations: a friend of mine is a translator. Sometimes when a book is translated into one language, say Portuguese to Spanish, and then into another, Spanish to English in this example, they will credit both. Also translators don’t always work alone, especially if it’s not their native language to ensure there’s not a lot of muddling of the text. And translation is different from transLITERATION which is where it’s word for word. Translation is more conveying the concepts and isn’t always word for word. This is why there are so many versions of the Bible.

EDIT: I should add that my friend is German so the process might be different here than elsewhere.

I just watched that clap transition 5 times… wtf, YOU ARE A WIZARD. Absolute perfection 🙌🏻👏🏻

[alyssacascos]

I will always love your videos❤️I have watched you for years and I always feel the same huge excitement when you upload. There is a comfort feeling when watching you and I love the way you describe books and explain them. Love having a book bestie on the internet 😊❤️

There are probably a lot of reasons why people translate together, but in Quebec we had a translator couple who always translated works together, the husband did the first translation, focusing on translating the feelings, the images, the creative parts of the book, and the wife did the second translation, correcting the grammar, refining the sentence structures, making things clearer, etc.
Just one of many ways!

I feel you with this heat! Our AC is fighting for its life. Loving the new intro and summerween 🧡

OH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE HORROR MOVIE READING VLOG…was so sad to see Gabi didn’t love it-can’t wait to hear your thoughts. It was 5⭐️for me 🥰

[kate-ne]

I picked up Pour One Out for the Devil in May because of you mentioning it in one of your upcoming books videos, and I loved it and gave it 5 stars, so your influence was still effective for it!! 🤗
