I'm actually NOT a translator. I do know a lot about how 
translators work and think because as part of my research, I 
will frequently do contextual interviews with translators 
(i.e. sit beside them while they do their regular work, and 
ask them lots of annoying questions about what they are doing 
and why).
 
I will take the fact that I was confused for an actual 
professional translator as a compliment and as an indication 
that I did my homework well ;-).
