Seventh inning stretch...
Jul. 22nd, 2003 04:20 pmIt's nearly 4:30, and there's an hour to go here at the Execute Package. Things got off to a slow start this morning, despite the fact I arrived early. Alex K., the fellow who normally does this work, has a particular method to his madness, and it took me just a while to get in the swing of things.
That and getting TRADOS to behave on my VAIO.
I started a new translation memory file for radiograms, which paid benefits almost immediately, with the daily schedules embedded in the "Form 24" documents due for translation. It got easier from there.
Later, after all the radiograms were translated, I dug around and found the copy of the Russian phonetic alphabet that I recalled seeing a long time ago, buried in the interpreter console reference. A little web research (a Google search for "Иван краткий," the 'name' of the Russian letter "Й") turned up a couple of other sources that appear to confirm the usage of the alphabet, although there does not appear to be any "official" phonetic alphabet, the way there is for the English alphabet in the U.S. (Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, etc., which is used by a broad spectrum of users: military, hams, pilots).
Tonight is wing chun night for Natalie, so there's no particular percentage in rushing home after work to try to cook something to eat together. I need to start on some of the stuff I brought with me, anyway (and some stuff that Natalie asked me to do... which reminds me... I need to print some files).
Cheers...
