(3) Translators and interpreters at the movies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If reflecting on the year as a whole is a bit much right now, how about the past week? A recent poll question asked translators and interpreters to share what kind of movie their work would would be, if it were a movie. Would it be an action-packed thriller? A comedy? A student art film? See what others said and add your take:

(5) How do you set the fee for rush jobs?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For rush jobs, an extra fee is often applied. But how does one decide what the surcharge for a rush job should be? This question was recently posed in the Money matters forum. See what colleagues had to say:
