Watercooler for Translators
Fellow Swedish-to-English translator Andy Bell has started a sort of joint blog, which he terms "watercooler," for translators. You have to sign in, but it's free and there's some good information and networking possibilities there.
Hi. There is no "set" language for the forum and the members come from varied language backgrounds. The lingua franca is English, but we have a Nordic group and you can post to colleagues in whatever language you like. You'd be welcome to join. Andy
Originally from Chicago, I lived in southern Sweden for nearly 5.5 years, and moved to southern Wales in September 2006. I completed a Ph.D. translation studies in June 2009 at Swansea University, with a dissertation on the translation of children's literature.
Now I live in Norwich, England, where I am a lecturer at the University of East Anglia, and I also work as a translator, writer, and editor.

That's a great idea. Is it also English to Swedish?? If then it's great..
