German-English translation weblog
Transblawg / Translation in the Trenches - ‘a blow-by-blow [account?] of a dog-eat-dog world’ is a translator’s weblog I’m unfamiliar with. I have my suspicions as to who Trench Warrior might be, but perhaps I’m wrong. Anyway, he men…

Weblogs searched in frames/Weblogs in Frames durchgesucht
Transblawg / As Robin Stocks notes, one doesn’t want one’s weblog to appear within a frame carrying a disclaimer but also advertising for one of the numerous translators’ sites that have become so popular recently. I don’t know whether the…
Miscellaneous notes on weblogs
