A blog by Luisa Fernanda Lassaque on Spanish, English, translation... and what she defines as "yerbas anexas", which includes her cats. Highly recommended.
I also sometimes read Allison Wright's blog because I'm interested in what she has to say about life in general and concerned about her partner's health.
My thanks to all three of them. ▲ Collapse

Normally, I recommend individual articles on blogs, if the topic comes up in "conversation".
I did give a number of blog references to a young student currently doing her translation degree (not necessarily these ones).

Lisa John (De) Ü wie Übersetzen http://ue-wie-uebersetzen.blogspot.com/
Corinne Mackay, Thoughts on Translation http://thoughtsontranslation.com/ - as already mentioned is pleasant light reading. She has an extensive blogroll which should be mined.
Steve Vitek, at the Patenttranslator's Blog, I love: http://patenttranslator.wordpress.com
I also love Veronica Lupascu's blog at Glossofilia Translations http://glossofilia.com/blog/, mainly because she is young, has her head screwed on straight, and does dual-language blogging. No mean feat.
There are others. There are plenty. Then you get people like me who blog, but only sometimes on translation-related issues - http://www.wrightonthebutton.com
Mox needs no recommendation. Top of the heap already. ▲ Collapse

| Why not read blogs? | Jan 6, 2013 |
Emma Goldsmith wrote: .... It's interesting that almost 60% of responders don't read translation-related blogs, or wouldn't recommend any to a colleague. Hmmm...
I second Lucia's recommendation of Emma's blog - even for those like me who are Spanish-challenged. Why? Because this is where we gather the most precious of finds - such as the wonderful news that fellow ProZian, Muriel Vasconcellos has published her autobiography, "Finding my Invincible Summer", proofread by another ProZian, Amy Duncan: http://signsandsymptomsoftranslation.com/2012/12/27/invincible-summer/
I would also like to mention that Lucia is a most discerning reader. I have certainly appreciated the interactions we have had so far, though, once again, our language pairs and subject fields are very different.
Like Emma, I find it somewhat disturbing that so many translators do not read translation-related blogs, or participate in the wider discussion about our profession.
I think this sharing process contributes to knowledge enhancement - even if it is not as direct as, perhaps, the useful links to patent terminology available on the The Patenttranslator's Blog.
To my way of thinking, blogs are useful ways to transmit and gather information, some of which would simply pass us by as we hurtle towards the next deadline. The more meaningful dialogue we can create between professional translators, the better. And we do not have to argue or rant, either.

| Another one I really like | Jan 6, 2013 |
is Charlie Bavington's blog, ''A Pragmatic Eye''.
''Fidus Interpres'' and Kevin Hendzel's ''Word Prisms'' are great blogs as well.

I occasionally read a blog when I see one mentioned in a discussion in the Proz forum, because the poster obviously thinks that the entry they give the link to will give additional insight to the topic in question.
Other than that, I get plenty of information, ideas and points to ponder in the fora, and I have ample opportunity to discuss translation issues with various colleagues and friends.

There are some very good blogs written by professional translators, which become good resources for our colleagues. The blogs written by translation consultants or translation companies are varied in scope, but I don't feel inclined to read blogs that try to sell something to a particular client (whether the client is freelance translators or translation buyers). ▲ Collapse
